Overview
Endourology is a specialty field of urology that utilizes minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary system. Endourology procedures can be used to treat problems such as urinary stones, tumors, and urinary obstructions. Endourology can allow for quicker healing times, better outcomes, and fewer side effects than traditional open surgery. Endourological procedures can also potentially result in less tissue destruction and a quicker return to normal activities for patients. Today, endourology is a critical component of urological practice, making it possible for patients to benefit from minimally invasive treatments for a wide range of urological conditions.
