Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pediatric urology has changed significantly in recent years. Technological advances over the last 20 years have led to a shift in the way we assess various pediatric conditions. On the one hand, the miniaturization of endoscopes and advances in technology have revolutionized endourology. Currently, open surgery is unacceptable as the first option for kidney stones, posterior urethral valves, or vesicoureteral reflux. Similarly, at the beginning of this century, urological laparoscopy was in its early stages. Currently, laparoscopy with 3 mm ports and robotic surgery have replaced open surgery as the first option for pyeloureteral junction obstruction.
The objective of this Special Issue is to focus on the advances in pediatric urology that each author feels are most important. Authors can present their experience and share it with others, in addition to reviewing the current state of the field.
