Urology is a medical specialty which is involved in the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases and disorders of the urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. Urology encompasses the management of both medical and surgical conditions. Medical conditions that can be treated non-surgically include benign prostatic hyperplasia and urinary-tract infections. Surgical interventions are needed for the treatment of prostate cancer, kidney stones, bladder cancer, traumatic injury, congenital abnormalities and stress incontinence. Some of the subspecialties of this domain are endourology, urogynecology, pediatric urology, transplant urology, androurology, sexual medicine, etc. Circumcision, male genital surgery and male genital modification are certain procedures of male genitalia. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of urology. Its objective is to give a general view of the different urological conditions and their treatment strategies. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of urology as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
