Urology is the medical-surgical specialty that deals with the study, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the urinary system in men and women, as well as the male reproductive system.
The most common pathologies include urinary tract infections, renal lithiasis (kidney stones), benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate, bladder and kidney cancer, erectile dysfunction, and urinary incontinence.
Technological innovation has transformed modern urology with minimally invasive techniques such as laser surgery, laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which allow for more precise treatments with shorter recovery times.
