This book is about the consequences of paediatric urology in patients who are now beyond puberty. It is only now that there are enough children reaching adulthood affected by these disorders to allow proper study and follow up. Since the book is looking at the sequelae of childhood problems in adult life, it should appeal to all urologists and by extension many general surgeons. It is about the long term consquences (possibly throughout adult life) of urological diseases and their management. It describes what happens to children when they grow up with major genito-urinary problems and covers the prognosis for life, for renal function, for bladder function, for sexual function and for pregnancy. The techniques for reconstruction of such anomalies in the adolescent and the adult are described. This book is intended for urologists, general surgeons and paediatricians.
