What is urology?

Posted by Sandeep on August 16th, 2018

Urology also known as genitourinary surgery is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary-tract system and the male reproductive organs. Organs under the domain of urology include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis).

Urology is the field of medicine that focuses on diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive tract. Some urologists treat general diseases of the urinary tract. Others specialize in a particular type of urology, such as:

·        Female urology, which focuses on conditions of a woman’s reproductive and urinary tract

·        Male infertility, which focuses on problems that prevent a man from conceiving a baby with his partner

·       Neurourology, which focuses on urinary problems due to conditions of the nervous system

·        Pediatric urology, which focuses on urinary problems in children

·        urologic oncology, which focuses on cancers of the urinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, prostate, and testicles

Urological techniques include minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopic surgery, laser-assisted surgeries, and other scope-guided procedures. Urologists receive training in open and minimally invasive surgical techniques, employing real-time ultrasound guidance, fiber-optic endoscopic equipment, and various lasers in the treatment of multiple benign and malignant conditions. Urology is closely related to (and urologists often collaborate with the practitioners of) oncology, nephrology, gynaecology, andrology, pediatric surgery, colorectal surgery, gastroenterology, and endocrinology.
