Hugh Hampton Young (1870-1945) is regarded as a major force in urology during the first half of the 20th century. While he is acknowledged for many advances in open and transurethral prostatic surgery, his contributions to pediatric urology have been less well recognized.
The manuscripts and autobiography of Hugh Hampton Young were reviewed and major contributions to pediatric urology were identified. Patient records corresponding to these areas were then obtained from the Alan Mason Chesney Medical Archives and reviewed.
Hugh Hampton Young was the first clinically to recognize and surgically treat posterior urethral valves, the first to develop a procedure to correct incontinence in patients with the epispadias-exstrophy complex and the first to describe bilateral subtotal adrenalectomy for virilization secondary to congenital adrenal hyperplasia. He was successful in his endeavors and his techniques are still in use today or have become the building blocks of future modifications.
The contributions of Hugh Hampton Young to pediatric urology were numerous. In addition to his accomplishments in academic and adult urology, Young should be recognized as a true pioneer in pediatric urology.
休·汉普顿·扬（1870 - 1945）被视为20世纪上半叶泌尿外科领域的一股主要力量。尽管他在开放性和经尿道前列腺手术方面的诸多进展得到认可，但其对小儿泌尿外科的贡献却鲜为人知。
查阅了休·汉普顿·扬的手稿和自传，确定了他对小儿泌尿外科的主要贡献。然后从艾伦·梅森·切斯尼医学档案馆获取了与这些领域相关的患者记录并进行查阅。
休·汉普顿·扬是临床上首个认识并手术治疗后尿道瓣膜的人，是首个开发出矫正膀胱外翻 - 尿道上裂综合征患者尿失禁手术方法的人，也是首个描述针对先天性肾上腺增生所致男性化进行双侧次全肾上腺切除术的人。他的努力取得了成功，其技术至今仍在使用，或已成为未来改进的基础。
休·汉普顿·扬对小儿泌尿外科的贡献众多。除了他在学术性和成人泌尿外科方面的成就外，扬还应被视为小儿泌尿外科的真正先驱。
