Preface

This issue of Seminars in Pediatric Surgery is devoted to the important subject of transition of care for patients as they move from pediatric to adult caregivers. While transitional care in the medically complex pediatric patient has been a frequent topic in the literature for over a decade, only recently has similar attention been turned to pediatric surgical patients entering adulthood. Transition of care is no less important for the parents and guardians of these patients, who must begin to step back from primary responsibility for care decisions.
