Reviews

Praise for the previous edition:"I suspect this is the bible for paediatric urologists... it should be available in every urology department"
—Urology News"Lots of good illustrations, clinical images and radiology. It has some very strong chapters on reconstructive surgery and duplex anomalies, and some interesting chapters on office ultrasonography and upper tract urodynamics. …I think that this book will be a worthy addition to most departmental libraries."
—Journal of Pediatric Urology"This is a standard textbook. Paediatric urologists will want their own copies. Departments of paediatric surgery and nephrology need a departmental copy, and hospital libraries can easily justify the outlay of a book, if their institution looks after children."
—Pediatrics and Child Health"Exhaustive and authoritative... This is the definitive text, well written by authorities in the field. Anyone with a primary or peripheral interest in pediatric urology should buy it and study it."
—Journal of Urology"This book should have a place in the library of every pediatric urologist and other urologists who care for children. It also should be an essential resource for urologists and pediatric urologists in training. The latest edition is comprehensive, well written, and deftly illustrated. The expert contributors provide the most up-to-date advances, treatments, and opinions in the field." -Harry Koo, MD (Hackensack University Medical Center)
