Pediatricians are frequently uncomfortable with gynecology, while gynecologists are often uncomfortable managing children and adolescent patients.These problems also frequently require the intervention of a team of specialists that might include physicians, surgeons, nurses, genetic counselors, psychologists, and when the topic is abuse, law enforcement and criminal justice system. The book opens with a discussion of the importance of the history and physical examination and then discusses the physiology of puberty. It then covers the medical and surgical approaches to common pediatric and adolescent gynecologic problems.
