Edwin Beer 1876 – 1938 American surgeon took his medical degree at College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York. He pioneered the endoscopic treatment of papillary bladder tumors. Beer is recognized as the founder of electrosurgery of the bladder. / "The authors base their work on twenty years' experience with diseases of the genito-urinary tract in children. The preliminary chapter is devoted to the symptomatology of genitourinary disease in young life. The technic of cystoscopy and pyelo-ureterography is discussed in some detail. Intravenous pyelography by the use of sodium-2-oxo-5-iodo-pyridine-n-acetate is described and its advantages and indications are pointed out. The use of the Bucky diaphragm is not advised. Edwin Beer writes on enuresis in childhood. He emphasizes the need for a thorough examination in order to determine the etiologic factor. Hyman writes the important chapter on infections of the urinary tract cystitis pyelitis pyelonephritis. He presents the most recent contributions to bacteriologic experimental surgical cystoscopic and roentgenographic progress. He appropriately avers that "pyelitis" is a misnomer which covers a number of conditions and that "pyuria" is more applicable until the true nature of the underlying lesion is understood . . . This monograph presents the essential clinical and special urologic data in a clear practical manner." – JAMA. 1930;9517:1286. See: G. W. Kaplan "Edwin Beer--a patriarch of pediatric urology."
