The changing workload in paediatric urology. 1985

B O'Donnell, and R G Buick

Almost 3000 (2969) paediatric urological procedures carried out by three paediatric surgeons over a 3-year period have been analysed. Almost half of the patients were managed as day cases. The content of the work has been examined and the implications for continuing patient care, surgical training and the desirable paediatric infrastructure noted. Inguinoscrotal operations, surgery for hypospadias and ureteric reimplant for vesicoureteric reflux are the commonest "open" operations. Most paediatric urological procedures will continue to be done by a variety of surgeons of different specialties.
