Urology

The most important urological illnesses are tumors (benign and malignant) and injuries of all the above-named organs, urinary tract infection, lithiasis (stones or stone disease), stenosis (stricture of the urinary (cancer, hyperplasia and prostatitis), erectile dysfunction (once referred to as impotence), infertility (formerly referred to as sterility) as well as other male genital issues (penile surgery, hydrocele, varicocele) and some soil issues female pelvic (cystocele).

Future of Urology

The future in technology in the field of urology balances between surgical and medical solutions, both devised to treat the patient in a minimally invasive manner. Through gene therapy solutions for the different kinds of urological cancers will be achieved. In the diagnostic area, the endoscopy that is achieved through tomodensitometric or magnetic resonance reading will enable us to reconstruct with light the urinary tract; and the new tumor markers will enable us to detect the disease early on and trace it with great accuracy. All these sections are already an incipient reality today that is making way for new biotechnological expectations. Prospects for the future are reviving at tremendous pace and now the time has come to speak of projects more bioengineering-oriented than with the fields of pure biology.
