ABSTRACT

Urological problems in children and adults are sometimes related to congenital anomalies of the genito-urinary (GU) tract. In this chapter, some of these are discussed with reference to the clinical problems they may cause, either in childhood or later. Following this, renal cystic disease is covered, after which some common acquired paediatric urological conditions are described. The more complex paediatric urological conditions are managed in specialized paediatric surgical units, while many children are managed by a urologist in the setting of a district general hospital.
