I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to several surgical mentors, namely Stuart Boyd, Martyn Vickers, Willem Oosterlicnk, Miroslav Djordjevic, Richard Santucci, Andre van der Merwe, Margit Fisch, Sanjay Kulkarni, Guido Barbagli, Tony Mundy, Branco Palma, José Maria Alves and Tomé Lopes, and many others, who taught, supported, and encouraged my vocation in the field of urologic reconstruction. To all the patients I had the privilege to treat, care for, learn from, and who teach me daily the meaning of dignity in the face of adversity, my sincere thanks. To the ones I love, most especially my wife and colleague Natalia and our children Filipe, Daniela, and Tomás for the unswerving inspiration, strength, love, support, and sacrifice they shared with me for the long hours dedicated to this project and life in general. I certainly would not have made it without them. Francisco E. Martins I would like to dedicate this book to my wife, Dr. Jyotsna Kulkarni, for being my partner in life and surgery and also to my surgical mentors Dr. P K Bharucha, Mr. Michael Heal, Mr. Richard Turner-Warwick, Prof. Guido Barba
