From the reviews:

"Editor W. Snodgrass and four experts in paediatric urology based their work on clinical questions and each chapter was conceived on the basis of frequently encountered problems, either for diagnosis or for treatment. ... Undoubtedly, this outstanding textbook will be useful for paediatric urologists, whatever their level of practise, and also for general urologists occasionally involved in paediatric urology." (European Urology Today, December 2013 - January 2014)
"This book focuses on presenting a synopsis of the evidence in the management of many pediatric urology conditions seen in daily practice. It will appeal to many physicians caring for children, including primary care pediatricians, pediatric urologists, pediatric surgeons, nephrologists, and gynecologists. ... aim to explore many questions encountered in pediatric urology and its attempt to answer them based on a literature review of outcomes. It also highlights the importance of conducting multicenter trials with outcomes that can be used to unify practice management worldwide." (Ahmad H. Bani-Hani, Doody´s Book Reviews, August, 2013)
