Preface
The field of pediatric urology is rapidly growing and currently it is considered as a subspecialty. Pediatric urologists and pediatric surgeons care for newborns, infants, and children with congenital and acquired urological conditions. I have written this book with more than 20 years’ experience in the care of infants and children with urological conditions and hope it will help all those involved in the surgical care of infants and children with urological problems. This book is written in a simple way and easy to read. It covers most areas in the field of pediatric urology with emphasis on the most important points relevant to the patient’s presentation, diagnosis, and management. This book is well illustrated and includes clinical, operative, radiological, and hand-drawn illustrations. I hope it will be useful to consultant pediatric urologists, pediatric surgeons, specialists, fellows, and residents. This book should be useful also to general practitioners, general surgeons, accident and emergency doctors, pediatricians, neonatologists, trainees, medical students, and nurses. Qatif, Saudi Arabia
