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.
