Full Description
This book provides a concise overview of common pediatric urology conditions encountered in general urology offices with adult patients. This text begins by detailing the history of pediatric urology in the U.S. and Europe. It then discusses the follow-up of patients with conditions such as hydronephrosis, hypospadias, and neurogenic bladder who continue to require management during adult life and long-term follow-up. By including updates on current practices in common pediatric urology conditions seen by adult general urologists, guides for urologists in avoiding common pitfalls when transitioning pediatric patients to adult patients, and key points for long-term care of adults, this book is an essential guide in 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 for urologists who see young adults with pediatric urology conditions, to help those patients successfully transition from the pediatric to adult care system.
