摘要

We read with interest this article by Thorn et al., which aims to provide an insight for the practitioners in the topic area. For a long time, surgeons have been blamed for ignoring the medical aspects of both diagnostic and therapeutic issues, and shortcutting towards surgical solutions; albeit, it is not true anymore, at least for pediatric urologists. It is amazing to see how urologists began to approach matters from an internist's viewpoint today. However, ignoring the surgical aspects of medical conditions would be another big mistake.
