In the last 10 years, the management of paediatric urological pathologies has been radically transformed; over 70% of all cases can now be treated with minimally invasive techniques.
This book is unique in its format, because for each pathology it explores all MIS techniques available for its treatment (laparoscopy, retroperitoneoscopy, robotics, prone position, pneumovesicoscopy, endourology, laser, fetoendoscopy, etc.). Each technique is described in a dedicated chapter, which includes a video of the procedure that can be viewed online. Written by internationally renowned paediatric urology experts, the book offers a valuable toolkit for surgeons, paediatricians and urologists.

Features
• Focuses on MIS adopted in pediatric urology
• Presents the most appropriate MIS technique for each pathology
• Includes virtually all minimally invasive techniques
