title: Difficult and controversial pediatric cases: a roundtable on conservative and surgical management.

Appropriate diagnosis and successful clinical management depend on the experience and skill of the surgeon. This roundtable discussion focuses on seven difficult cases and presents the views of three experienced and skilled experts in the field.
