title: Congenital posterior urethral obstruction: the historical perspective
abstract: The currently accepted interpretation of urethral anatomy and pathology in boys is based on studies from the first half of this century, most notably from Hugh Hampton Young and his colleagues. The studies that led to Young's conclusions and the developments in the management allow for reinterpretation, particularly with the advent of prenatal diagnosis and video-endoscopic recording technology.
