title: Adolescent urology update.
abstract: The transition from childhood to adulthood can be tricky. For patients who present later in life with conditions usually addressed earlier in childhood, such as enuresis, there can be pressing social and psychological concerns. For other conditions that previously had not seen many children progress into adulthood, we now must try to fine-tune our care to consider the degree of independence of patients, and to find an appropriate adult physician to continue their care.
