Reviews

"In this manual ... experts in paediatric incontinence present a training programme intended for children and adolescents suffering from elimination disorders. This manual is a compilation of the long experience of the authors and provides the reader with an exhaustive overview of elimination disorders. Many pediatricians and pediatric urologists will find useful information." Prof. Paul Meria, Paris, FR, in European Urology Today, Dec. 2014 "The training program in this manual by the internationally acclaimed expert Alexander von Gontard and his team addresses a problematic and often overlooked group of children who need, and often do not get, our help. The book provides hard evidence where such is available and deep and thorough experience where it is not." Tryggve Neveus; Associate Professor, Senior Consultant in Paediatric Nephrology, Uppsala University Children's Hospital, Sweden; former Secretary General of the International Children's Continence Society "This manual provides a concise and excellent overview of bowel and bladder dysfunction in children and a compilation of years of clinical experience that is shared so practically and generously. It is rare to find information that is as readily and immediately applicable with accompanying resources as in this book. You just know it is going to revitalise your practice!" Janet W. Chase; Doctor of Physiotherapy, Consultant Physiotherapist, Victorian Children's Continence Clinic, Cabrini Hospital, Melbourne, Australia "This is an excellent reference manual that can be adapted to many countries and cultures. I applaud the authors' efforts to achieve a balanced, informative, and comprehensive communication."
