Pediatric Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction ( Pediatric NBD) offers a  leading international reference on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the pediatric patient with urinary problems due to spinal cord pathologies. It represents a unique guide for all the specialists involved in the management of this pathology. The contributors are international leading experts in clinical research and in surgical practice of this pathologic condition. All the aspects of NBD in children from the clinical and diagnostic evaluation to the pharmacological and surgical treatment are covered. Pediatric surgeons, pediatricians, general physicians and therapists will benefit from this clear, easy and up-to- date review of the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures adopted today.
