Full Description
This book on Pediatric Urology encompasses the specifics of bladder function and a wide spectrum of bladder disorders. Urodynamics—both non-invasive and invasive—provides a comprehensive understanding of bladder function and dysfunction. This book is dedicated to offering an in-depth understanding of the role of urodynamics in various pediatric bladder conditions and how its interpretation can guide the management of such cases.
Throughout the book, an effort has been made to include all relevant clinical details associated with each curve, so that the curve can be interpreted in relation to the disease and its clinical implications. The book contains a section on urodynamic findings in common pediatric bladder diseases, enabling readers to understand the urodynamic findings related to different varieties, stages, and severities of these diseases.
This book also encapsulates a few controversial topics, such as invasive urodynamics in infants and children with VUR, and the role of pressure-flow studies in children, which are not discussed in detail in other texts. The book covers all practical points, ensuring that any pediatric urologist, pediatric nephrologist, or urologist can acquire sufficient knowledge to set up a urodynamics lab and start performing quality urodynamic studies in children.
