Urology
Urology focuses on the medical and surgical treatment of the genitourinary system in both men and women. The scope of their specialty includes diseases of the kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate, urethral, and male genital structural disorders and injuries. They often coordinate care with nephrologists for patients with kidney disease. Diagnostic procedures are very important for urologists. They are trained in endoscopic, open and minimally-invasive surgical techniques. These specialists see male and female patients and work in both the hospital and clinic settings. Excellent surgical skills, manual dexterity, and hand-eye coordination are important to this specialty.
