Special Populations
Special populations are context-specific overlays for reconstructive urology and urogynecology practice. Each subsection applies the clinical-condition and treatment-atlas content to one population: the trauma patient, the gender-affirming patient, the cancer survivor after pelvic oncologic therapy, the woman across the menopausal transition, and the patient at either end of the lifespan (transitional urology and geriatric urology).
These pages cover the population-specific considerations that change operative selection or perioperative management.
