Infos

Adolescent Urology and Long-Term Outcomes provides urologists
and pediatric urologists with a comprehensive and expert clinical
guide to the main urologic problems that can occur during
adolescence.

Fully covering disorders related to sex and genital development,
the kidney, bladder, ureta and urethra, Professor Woodhouse, a
world-leading expert and global pioneer in this field
systematically outlines the best clinical practice in the surgical
and medical management of these complex and extremely challenging
conditions, as well covering the long-term outcome for the
patient.

Given the sensitive nature of these problems and their effect on
adolescent patients, attention is paid to the psychological aspect
of such disorders: especially how best to manage patients
struggling to come to terms with what are very personal and complex
issues at what is often a difficult and turbulent period of their
life.

Well-illustrated with over 120 figures including step-by-step
surgical diagrams throughout, chapters will also include a unique
"voice of the experts" feature - a running
dialogue between leading experts and Prof Woodhouse on the topic in
question.

This modern, expert guide to adolescent urologic problems from
one of the leading names in the field will be an essential tool for
modern-day urologists and urologic surgeons, especially those
specialising in pediatric patients, as well as pediatricians and
endocrinologists.
