<p><strong>Christopher Woodhouse</strong>, MB, FRCS, FEBU is Emeritus Professor of Adolescent Urology, University College, London.<br />Previously a consultant at the Royal Marsden Hospital, he joined UCL and was made Professor of Adolescent Urology in 2006. He is widely considered one of the world's leading experts in pediatric urology and in particular, adolescent urology and congenital urological anomalies. He's had over 260 papers, 65 chapters and three books published, as well as having given more than 450 lectures and presentations around the world.<br />He authored 'Long-term Paediatric Urology' in 1991, of which this book will be a completely revised and modernised update.

<p><b>Adolescent Urology and Long-Term Outcomes</b> provides urologists and pediatric urologists with a comprehensive and expert clinical guide to the main congenital and acquired urologic conditions in adolescence and later life. It fully covers the disorders of sex and genital development, the kidney, bladder, ureter and urethra.</p> <p>Professor Woodhouse, a world-leading expert and global pioneer in this field systematically outlines the best clinical practice in the surgical and medical management of these complex and extremely challenging conditions, as well the long-term social outcome for the patient. </p> <p>Given the sensitive nature of these problems and their effect on adolescent patients, attention is paid to the psychological aspects: especially how best to manage patients struggling to come to terms with very personal and complex issues at a turbulent period of their life.</p> <p>It is well-illustrated with over 120 figures including surgical diagrams throughout. Chapters also include a unique “voice of the experts” feature – a running dialogue between leading experts and Professor Woodhouse on the topic in question.</p> <p>This modern, expert guide to adolescent urologic problems from one of the leading names in the field will be an essential tool for modern-day urologists and urologic surgeons, especially those specializing in pediatric patients, as well as pediatricians and endocrinologists.</p> <p><b>Related titles</b></p> <p><i>Pediatric Robotic and Reconstructive Urology: A Comprehensive Guide</i><b><br /></b>Gundeti, 9781444335538, 2012 </p> <p><i>Handbook of Urology, Parsons</i><b><br /></b>9780470672563, 2013</p>
