This study guide takes each chapter of Clinical Pediatric Urology: Fifth Edition-without doubt the most well-respected and authoritative book on the subject in the world-and, in the format of a Q & A style, poses the most common questions in that particular area, which those taking the ABU examinations are likely to be tested on. With a foreword from Stephen Docimo, this study guide provides crucial information to a host of urologists in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. This text is a "what you need to know" guide to the kind of issues facing pediatric urologists today. The Kelalis-King-Belman Textbook of Clinical Pediatric Urology Study Guide: contains questions and answers for each chapter of the world's foremost book on pediatric urology correlates with what the ABU will be testing all pediatric urologists in U.S. and Canada on, starting in the summer of 2008, i.e., all areas of pediatric urology contains multiple choice questionnaires at the end of each section

In consultation with Consulting Editor, Samir Taneja, the Guest Editors have created an issue that provides a current look at urologic disease in the pediatric patient. Authors represent the top academic institutions and have contributed review articles on the following topics: Antibiotic Prophylaxis; Peritransplant Management by the Pediatric Urologist; Pediatric Stone Disease; Anesthesia in the Pediatric Patient; Neurogenic Bladder/Augmentation; Fertility Issues in Pediatric Urology; Transitional Urology; Minimally Invasive Surgery Update; Exstrophy Epispadias and Global Urology; Bladder/Bowel Dysfunction; Prenatal Hydronephrosis; and Overview of DSD/Genital Surgery in Children. Readers will come away with the clinical updates they need for proper diagnosis and treatment of the pediatric patient.

Urologists were early adaptors of robotic assisted laparoscopy, and pediatric urology similarly led in incorporating the technology into the surgical armamentarium for treating even the smallest infants. And it is in that tradition that this issue of Urologic Clinics of North America surveys the journey from the earliest pure laparoscopic procedures to the most advanced reconstruction possible today due to evolutions in technology. The issue begins with the procedure that arguably popularized the laparoscopic approach in pediatric urology-the laparoscopic orchiopexy, then posit the continued relevance of pure laparoscopy in the robotic era, before finally surveying contemporary advances in robotic-assisted pediatric urologic surgery. The issue is of relevance not only tor the novice contemplating a transition to laparoscopy or robotics but also for the seasoned minimally invasive surgeon seeking to enhance skills and augment his or her practice.
