Many patients with urologic conditions diagnosed in childhood will need to transition to an adult urology practice as they become adults. The negotiation of the transition is imperative. If not successfully met, failure of transition can result in serious consequences, such as renal failure, urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. This workshop will provide guidelines on how to transition care of adolescents with major congenital anomalies and include interactive presentations and case studies on transition patients.
Attendees will learn how to manage transition patients with hypospadias, posterior urethral valves and other long-term urologic problems diagnosed in childhood.
