Urologic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive system. This includes procedures for issues related to the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra, as well as conditions like prostate cancer and kidney stones. Surgeons in this field, known as urologists, use various techniques, including minimally invasive methods, to improve patient outcomes. Common procedures include cystectomy (removal of the bladder), nephrectomy (removal of a kidney), and prostatectomy (removal of the prostate gland).
