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.

Strong Objection

To the Editor.— The New York Pediatric Society, a 50-year-old professional organization of practicing and academic physicians dedicated to the study and welfare of children, is submitting this letter, previously sent to the Academy offices, in the interest of stimulating further discussion of the question of parental consent for routine immunizations. We have reviewed the March 1983 report on DTP (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus), DT, and TD immunizations provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and wish to register our strong objection to the formal request/consent forms favored, or at least publicized by the Academy.

The Committee on Accident Prevention of the American Academy of Pediatrics recently surveyed a group of pediatricians and general practitioners in New York State to learn more about the role played by the medical practitioner, and especially the pediatrician, in accident prevention. The survey, reported in the August, 1964, News Letter of the Academy, verified the opinion of some committee members that the practicing physician generally neglected to include accident prevention as part of his purpose in patient care and that he lacked a missionary zeal in combating the number one killer and disabler of children.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has made a nation-wide survey, the first ever undertaken, of all the services and facilities currently available for the medical care and health supervision of infants and children throughout the country. And, because the quality of the health services is largely dependent on the pediatric orientation of the physician, the second half of this study is devoted to an analysis of present-day pediatric education. In the conduct of the study and the analysis of the data, the Academy has had the cooperation of the U.S. Public Health Service and the U.S. Children's Bureau.
