This book provides a concise overview of common pediatric urology conditions encountered in general urology offices with adult patients. This text begins by detailing the history of pediatric urology in the U.S. and Europe. It then discusses the follow-up of patients with conditions such as hydronephrosis, hypospadias, and neurogenic bladder who continue to require management during adult life and long-term follow-up. By including updates on current practices in common pediatric urology conditions seen by adult general urologists, guides for urologists in avoiding common pitfalls when transitioning pediatric patients to adult patients, and key points for long-term care of adults, this book is an essential guide in today’s field.Pediatric Urology for the Adult Urologist is a great addition for current practitioners and professionals. It is a useful tool for adult urologists who see children in their practice, and for urologists who see young adults with pediatric urology conditions, to help those patients successfully transition from the pediatric to adult care system.

With the rising incidence of urolithiasis, the management of ureteral stones continues to become a larger component of urologic practice. Though almost all urologists deal with ureteral stones, there have been many recent improvements in instrumentation and adjunctive equipment as well as improvements in imaging and the data we can obtain from radiologic imaging in order to guide stone management. Newer topics such as how to limit radiation exposure to both the patient and the urologist, the accuracy and limitations of low-dose computed tomography as well as a review of the most recent studies will be covered in this book. The purpose of this book is to provide a complete updated roadmap to treating ureteral stones, from early management decisions from information found on radiologic studies to adjusting to intra-operative challenges.

This text explores the history and development of the many technologies that have led to how we treat contemporary urologic problems. From the development of the cystoscope, the advances in laparoscopy, the birth of the field of endourology, to the era of robotics today, urologists have pushed the envelope in technologic innovation.The editors highlight the development of the cystoscope and the early tools used to treat ureteral stones, the development of ureteroscopy, and the applications of lasers and shock wave lithotripsy in the treatment of urolithiasis. Furthermore, they explore the history of minimally invasive treatments in urologic oncology from the story behind the first laparoscopic nephrectomy, the application of hand-assisted technology to the development of robotics and percutaneous treatment approaches (radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation).  As the field of urology continues to evolve, urologists will continue to look to the future with the recent applications of histotripsy and regenerative medicine.   This text chronicles the creativity, innovation and discovery of the developments of the instruments that allow to practice urology today, as well as glimpse what the future of urology holds.
