Department of Urology
What is Urology?
The American Urological Association defines urology as a specialty that deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra). It also deals with the male reproductive organs (penis, testes, scrotum, prostate, etc.).
Urology is a surgical specialty. Besides surgery, a urologist is a doctor with the wisdom of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and other parts of health care. This is because a urologist encounters a wide range of clinical problems. The scope of urology is big and the American Urological Association has named seven sub-specialty parts:
- Pediatric Urology (children’s urology)
- Urologic Oncology (urologic cancers)
- Renal (kidney) Transplant
- Male Infertility
- Calculi (urinary tract stones)
- Female Urology
- Neurourology (nervous system control of genitourinary organs)
