TIMESTAMPS
Urology (aka: genitourinary surgery) is a surgical subspecialty that tackles a wide spectrum of diseases involving themale and female urinary tract, themale reproductive system, andthe female pelvic floor. Urologists manage afflictions ranging from genitourinary malignancies (renal cell carcinoma, prostate carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, testicular carcinoma, etc. . .) and renal stones to congenital genitourinary defects, perineal reconstruction, and male infertility.
Although Urologists aresurgeons, a significant part of the urologic practice also involvesmedical management of disease (i.e. no knife).
The American Urologic Association (AUA), the governing body for the specialty, divides Urology intoseven subspecialties:
Oncology: Surgical management of neoplasms involving the Adrenals, Kidneys, Ureters, Bladder, Prostate, Urethra, Testes, External Genitalia
Calculi: Medical, endoscopic, extracorporeal, percutaneous, and surgical management of stones of the urinary tract.
Female Urology:Medical and surgical management of incontinence and pelvic outlet relaxation disorders.
Infertility:Medical and surgical treatment of male infertility.
Pediatrics: Medical and surgical treatment of urological disease in the pediatric population.
Transplant: Renal transplantation.
Neurourology: Urodynamic evaluation of patients; medical and surgical management of voiding disorders and erectile dysfunction.
