Urology Procedures

Urology Procedures

Urology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the urinary tract in both men and women, and the male reproductive system.

If you’re studying urology, I can also provide a categorized list of minor vs. major procedures, commonly performed procedures in residency, or a urology OT/procedure logbook format.

It deals with organs such as:

  • The kidneys

  • Ureters (tubes connecting kidneys to the bladder)

  • Bladder

  • Urethra

  • Male reproductive organs, including the prostate, testes, and penis

Common conditions treated by urologists include:

  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

  • Kidney stones

  • Bladder problems

  • Enlarged prostate

  • Male infertility

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Cancers of the urinary and male reproductive systems

A doctor who specializes in urology is called a urologist.
