Urology, a surgical super specialty, focuses on addressing disorders of the male and female genital and urinary systems. This diverse field of surgery spans conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, and prostate, addressing issues such as incontinence, impotence, infertility, cancer, and the reconstruction of the genitourinary tract. Urology caters to patients of all ages and both genders, making it one of the most comprehensive branches of surgical medicine.
Urologists employ both traditional surgical methods and have been at the forefront of advancing modern high-tech approaches, including fiber-optic and endoscopic techniques, often referred to as minimally invasive surgery. Urology stands out as one of the pioneering specialties in adopting "keyhole" surgery and continues to offer a comprehensive range of minimally invasive techniques for the benefit of patients.
