This study guide takes each chapter of Clinical Pediatric Urology: without doubt the most well-respected and authoritative book on the subject in the world — and, in the format of a Q & A style, poses the most common questions in that particular area, which those taking the ABU examinations are likely to be tested on.With a foreword from Stephen Docimo, this study guide provides crucial information to a host of urologists in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. This text is a "what you need to know" guide to the kind of issues facing pediatric urologists today.
