This book contains information on the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the bladder muscle, nerves, and collagen in the patient with bladder exstrophy. In addition, it covers modern surgical treatment of the infant born with bladder exstrophy and those who fail initial reconstruction. Chapters are contributed by major children's centres throughout the world. The aims of the book are to familiarize both the resident and the experienced practitioner with the most modern methods for the treatment for bladder exstrophy and epispadias. It deals with the function, innervation, and pathophysiology of the bladder muscle in the patient born with bladder exstrophy. New concepts from leading laboratories around the world regarding the function of the bladder are discussed. In addition, experts offer their advice, expertise, and thoughts concerning the management of the patient born with bladder exstrophy.

Effective problem-solving approach using cases actually encountered in clinical practice!Pediatric Urology has established itself as a separate subspeciality and is an essential component of the Intercollegiate exams both in Pediatric Surgery (FRCS Paeds) and Adult Urology (FRCS Urol) and the Board exams in the USA. Exposure to Pediatric Urology training is often limited to only one year in most Pediatric surgical training programmes; and is practically non-existent in Adult urology training programmes.There are several Pediatric Urology textbooks providing factual information and literature reviews; however, problem based learning has be shown to be much more useful than the search and scan approach.This book covers all the major topics in Pediatric Urology in a "problem solving" format and using numerous illustrations. Most of the information is evidence-based and all problems are representative of those actually encountered in clinical practice.The contributing authors have key affiliations with societies such as the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons, the British Association of Paediatric Urologists and the European Association of Paediatric Urologists.

New concepts from leading laboratories around the world regarding the function of the bladder are discussed. In addition, experts offer their advice, expertise, and thoughts concerning the management of the patient born with bladder exstrophy.This book is intended for researchers who are interested in both the innervation, structure and function of bladder muscle and for pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, pediatric orthopedic surgeons, and both adult and pediatric urologists who deal with patients from birth until adult life who are born with bladder exstrophy. This is the first book to deal specifically with the basic science of bladder exstrophy and the clinical management of the bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex.

A unique practice-oriented survey of how the new surgical, analytical, and biomedical advances are being applied to pediatric urology. Here the practicing urologist will find informative, easy-to-read reviews of the modern evaluation of prenatal hydronephrosis, the standard treatment of reflux vs the newer injectable techniques, and the spectrum of hypospadias treatment along with new developments in bladder exstrophy. Additional updated topics include what's new in undescended testis, the evaluation of difficult duplication anomalies, voiding dysfunction and neurogenic bladders, pediatric stone disease, and the developmental problems associated with genitourinary defects.
