Adolescent urology.
The area of adolescent urology encompasses a period of development that coincides with puberty. Disorders seen during this time either carry over from childhood (eg, hydronephrosis, enuresis, voiding dysfunction) or are early manifestations of urologic problems seen more commonly in adulthood (eg, urolithiasis, varicoceles). This article focuses on several areas of urology common to the adolescent.
