Urologia pediatrica

This excellent and superbly illustrated text provides surgical trainees and non specialists with an updated and extensively revised account of the urological disorders of childhood . The second edition reflects the many advances and innovations in paediatric urology since the first edition was published in 2002 and incorporates suggestions and feedback from readers and reviewers of the first edition of Essentials of Paediatric Urology. There are new chapters on "The Child as Patient" that highlights the important differences in the approach to caring for children and adults, and provides clarification on legal and ethical issues concerning consent; and, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery, reflecting the innovative advances in effective patient care; and a new multiple choice question chapter with cross-references to the text, as requested by many readers of the first edition, thus providing an aide-memoire for those undergoing speciality examinations. This popular text was never intended to duplicate the large reference books written primarily for specialists. Instead it fulfils a unique role as the only textbook of paediatric urology written primarily for trainees and those practising adult urology, paediatric surgery and paediatric urology . The second edition continues to meet this need as well as providing a ready source of reference for non-specialists including paediatricians and nurses. Like the first edition, the new edition is accessible and concise with a visual format characterized by extensive use of colour illustrations, flow charts and diagrams.

Updated and expanded for its Second Edition, this handbook is an accessible guide to the diagnosis and treatment of urologic disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. It covers the full range of pediatric urologic problems in an easy-to-use outline format with numerous illustrations and tables. This edition includes new chapters on laparoscopy in pediatric urology, sports recommendations for children with solitary kidneys and other genitourinary anomalies, preparing pediatric patients for anesthesia, and treatment of urinary incontinence and constipation. A new appendix covers online pediatric urology recommendations. The updated Pediatric Urology Database chapter provides a quick reference on important medication issues.

This definitive reference will provide paediatric urologists with detailed descriptions of today's best approaches for the functional, biological, and morphological aspects of the urinary tract before and after birth. From perinatal nephrology and nuclear medicine to congenital anomalies and genitourinary oncology, "Pediatric Urology" will ensure that specialists in the field are up-to-date with all the latest advances and technological developments in the field.
