Abstract
The field of transitional urology has taken on an increasing importance in recent years as more individuals with congenital urologic issues are living and thriving into adulthood. This article reviews the transitional process itself including barriers to successful transition and the consequences of failing to properly transition. Also provided is a broad overview of the urologic issues faced by patients who may benefit from lifelong care and the providers who will be helping them with transition and assuming their care.Entities:
