Handbook of Pediatric Urology (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Handbook Series)

This convenient handbook is an accessible, reliable guide to the diagnosis and treatment of urologic disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. In an outline format that is ideal for quick reference, the book provides complete information on the full range of urologic problems seen in pediatric patients--from urinary tract infections, functional incontinence, and urinary tract malformations and anomalies to urologic trauma, primary kidney cancer, chronic renal failure, and kidney transplantation. Complementing the text throughout are numerous illustrations and tables. Sixteen appendices answer questions that parents frequently ask about various disorders and surgical procedures and provide instructions for postoperative patient care.
