Urology Surgery:

Urology Surgery is the integration of surgical activities for the pelvis—the colon, urogenital, and gynecological organs—primarily for the treatment of obstructions, dysfunction, malignancies, and inflammatory diseases. Urology is the study of the causes and treatment of diseases of the urinary system.

Medical professionals specializing in the field of urology are called urologists and are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with urologic disorders. The organs covered by urology include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis).

When medication and other non-surgical treatments are unavailable or cannot relieve symptoms, surgery is the recommended treatment for many conditions that affect the male reproductive organs and urinary tract organs. Fortunately, less invasive surgical options are available to many people facing urologic Problems. The most common is endoscopy.
