Pitfalls in the treatment of congenital urologic anomalies.
Specific diagnostic and therapeutic considerations regarding urologic problems in the very young have encouraged the awareness that the treatment of congenital malformations requires special qualifications. In this paper 3 cases are presented to illustrate and stress our opinion that the treatment of congenital urologic anomalies in young children should be left to urologists who have been trained and work in the field of paediatric urology.
