Opis

An increased incidence of hypospadias is found globally, and the current management techniques and research studies of hypospadiology face significant challenges and limitations. This book sheds light on the recent struggles encountered in hypospadias-related clinical practice and research methodologies. Various writings were incorporated by people on different disciplines linked to the overall phases of diagnosis and care of hypospadias patients. Special attention is given to new perspectives from different interrelated disciplines trying to overcome these obstacles. This book fills in a void in the new related discoveries traditionally given scant consideration in the currently dominated literature. It provides a useful source for the recent updates, ongoing controversies, and future research trajectories in hypospadiology, which benefits pediatric, plastic, reconstructive, and urology surgeons and trainees and helps examiners focus on updated materials.

O autorze

Dr. Tariq Abbas is a consultant pediatric urologist and reconstructive surgeon with extensive clinical, preclinical and essential science experience. He spans the spectrum of pediatric surgery, urology in general, and hypospadias in particular. He regularly operates on large numbers of hypospadias patients and produces cutting-edge research outcomes. He completed a Ph.D. from Aalborg University, Denmark, in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine of the urethra as a future management tool for hypospadias cases in children and adults. He got all the critical appraisal tools to critically evaluate the current literature on hypospadias, present the hot research topics, and discuss future directions. Dr. Abbas is a member of several editorial boards and published more than 80 international peer-reviewed articles, about 40 in hypospadias territory.
