This situation poses aunique challenge to pediatric hospitals. Interprofessional teams in pediatric urology departments mustcare for an increasing number of patients with genetic abnormalities and diseases, unusual urogenital trauma, as well as frequent multiresistent organisms. In addition, communication problems due to language barriers and intercultural differences abound.
