The branch of medicine that focuses on the medical diseases of the male and female urinary tract systems and male reproductive organs is called urology. Both the urinary and reproductive tracts are closely linked and if disorders of one often tend to affect the other. Urological techniques include invasive robotic and laparoscopic surgery, laser-assisted surgeries, and other scope-guided techniques. Urologists receive training in open and minimally interfering surgical techniques, employing real-time ultrasound guidance, fiber-optic endoscopic equipment, and various lasers in the treatment of multiple benign and harmful conditions. Urology is associated with urologists who often collaborate with different department practitioners related to oncology, nephrology, gynecology, andrology, pediatric surgery, colorectal surgery, gastroenterology, and endocrinology.
