The practice and science of pediatric urology has changed rapidly in the last few years with the availability of new surgical techniques, more informative prenatal evaluations, and better biomedical substances. In Pediatric Urology, leading pediatric urologists from major academic institutions offer a unique practice-oriented approach to these new developments. Here, the practicing urologist will find informative, easy-to-read reviews of the modern evaluation of prenatal hydronephrosis, the standard treatment of reflux vs the newer injectable techniques, and the spectrum of hypospadias treatment along with new developments in bladder exstrophy. Additional updated topics include what's new in undescended testis, the evaluation of difficult duplication anomalies, voiding dysfunction and neurogenic bladders, pediatric stone disease, and the developmental problems associated with genitourinary defects.
Concise and clearly written, Pediatric Urology offers the practicing urologist up-to-date recommendations for treatment of the pediatric urology patient, as well as a clear perspective on where pediatric urology is going and how new discoveries are being applied.

"...provides an excellent update into the current state of the art for pediatric urology...easy to read and it is well illustrated. Pediatric nephrologists would find this a good way to update themselves on current standards in pediatric urology. Trainee surgeons will also find this a useful overview of the subject, as the book is concise enough to read in a single session." - Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health
"Currently there are few books that provide a nice summary of current pediatric urological principles. This book will be useful for any individual who desires such a review." -Doody's Health Sciences and Book Review Journal
