Urology

Urology is the medical branch that studies the urinary tract of men and women and the reproductive systems of men. In addition, the surgical treatment of the adrenal glands falls within the field of urology. It examines the diagnosis and treatment process of all diseases related to organs such as kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra, penis, testicles, scrotum and prostate gland. Urology incorporates both urinary tract infection and urinary system surgical interventions.

Urology is divided into sub-disciplines within itself. These can be counted as andrology, pediatric urology, female urology, neuro-urology, endourology and uro-oncology.


Andrology: Andrology deals with sexual dysfunctions. Sexual health of men and women and infertility in men are common and studied diseases. Diseases such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, varicocele fall under the scope of this sub-branch.


Pediatric Urology: It examines the urological diseases seen in children. Undescended testis, hypospadias (prophet circumcision), VUR (vesicoureteral reflux), Nocturnal Enuresis (wetting during night), hydrocele (fluid accumulation in the testis sac), inguinal hernia and circumcision, medical and surgical treatments are also included in this sub-branch. 


Female Urology: It includes two branches, namely urogynecology. Diseases such as sagging of the pelvic organ, urinary incontinence and overactive bladder are taken care of.


Neurourology: It examines urinary excretion problems caused by disorders of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Necessary treatments are carried out for the diagnosis of diseases that occur as a result of complaints such as urinary problems experienced at night and frequent urination.

Penile Prosthesis Surgery

The inflatable penile prosthesis or glans injury treatment consists of two connected cylinders - a reservoir and a pump - that are surgically inserted into the body. The two cylinders are inserted into the penis and connected to a separate saline reservoir by tubing. The reservoir is implanted under the rectus muscles in the lower abdomen. A pump is also connected to the erectile tissue system and sits under the loose skin of the scrotum between the testicles.

Because of the three different components, this penile prosthesis is called a 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis. A two-piece inflatable penile prosthesis consists of only two components;
  • the attached cylinders and 
  • the combined reservoir and pump unit 
The reservoir is not placed behind the groin, but together with the pump forms a housing unit that fits comfortably in the scrotum. The advantage of a two-piece prosthesis is that the operation is shorter and less complicated and there are no pieces of equipment in the abdomen. The disadvantage of the two-piece prosthesis is that the smaller reservoir may not result in a sufficient erection in some men.
