Urology (from Greek οὖρον ouron "urine" and -λογία -logia "study of"), also known as
genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases
of the male and female urinary-tract system and the male reproductive organs. Organs under the
domain of urology include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the
male reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, vas deferens,
seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis).
The urinary and reproductive tracts are closely linked, and disorders of
one often affect the other. Thus a major spectrum of the conditions managed in
urology exists under the domain of genitourinary disorders. Urology combines the
management of medical (i.e., non-surgical) conditions, such as urinary-tract infections
and benign prostatic hyperplasia, with the management of surgical conditions such as bladder
or prostate cancer, kidney stones, congenital abnormalities, traumatic injury, and stress incontinence.
