Specialty description

Urology is a surgical specialty that deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract, adrenal glands and male reproductive organs. The breadth of the specialty provides urologists with a varied practice. It also affords them the opportunity to specialize in a particular specialty area of urologic surgery. This flexibility also enables the urologist to maintain a more tailored schedule than other surgical specialties. As a rule, urological emergencies are less time-consuming than emergencies in other specialties.
