This book provides a concise overview of common pediatric urology conditions encountered in general urology practices, followed by a discussion of how to follow-up patients with conditions such as hydronephrosis, hypospadias, and neurogenic bladder who require management into adult life. By including updates on current practices in pediatric urology, guides on how to avoid common pitfalls when transitioning pediatric patients to adult providers, and key points for the long-term care of adults with pediatric urology conditions, this book is an essential guide to today’s field.
Pediatric Urology for the Adult Urologist is a great addition for current practitioners and professionals. It is a useful tool for adult urologists who see children in their practice, and urologists who see young adults with pediatric urology conditions, to help patients successfully transition from the pediatric to the adult care system.
