Members of the Section on Urology of the American Academy of Pediatrics met for 2½ days in conjunction with the 59th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics in Boston, Massachusetts, October 6 to October 8, 1990. The meeting was presided over by Chairperson David T. Mininberg of Cornell University, New York. The papers presented at this meeting that are of interest to the practicing pediatrician are summarized here according to topic. The Pediatric Urology Medal, awarded to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the field of pediatric urology, was presented to Dr Frank Hinman, Jr. of the University of California. San Francisco. Dr Hinman was recognized for his many years of work dedicated to improving the urologic care of children. A foremost clinician, teacher, and researcher, he has contributed particularly to the understanding of urinary tract infections and bladder dysfunction in children, particularly those children who have "Hinman Syndrome," the non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder. Dr Hinman has been a strong advocate for the specialized urologic care of children for many years. GENITOURINARY NEOPLASMS Wilms' tumor is one disease in which there has been impressive progress in recent years, particularly with the advent of effective chemotherapy that has enabled these children to have increased disease-free survival. Montgomery and co-workers from the Mayo Clinic reviewed the experience of patients with bilateral Wilms' tumor during the past 16 years. Ten-year survival was 69%. Seventy-five percent of the failures resulted from recurrent disease (which generally occurred early), and 25% resultes from treatment complications.
