Urology
ABOUT BRANCH
Urology is a surgical medical science that deals with the urinary tracts and organs of men and women and the male reproductive organs and deals with the diseases of these systems. Surgical treatment of the adrenal glands is also in the field of urology. Urology deals with both adult and pediatric patients. Common diseases in this field include: urinary tract obstruction, prostate enlargement, impotence, infertility, urinary incontinence, kidney and urinary tract stones; kidney, bladder, prostate and ovarian cancers have an important place. Because of this broad framework of urology, seven sub-branches have been distinguished by the American Urology Association:
- Pediatric Urology
- Uro-oncology (cancers)
- Male infertility
- Stone disease (urinary tract stones)
- Female Urology
- Neuro-urology (voiding disorders, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and impotence)
