Abstract
Current urology is developing in the area of minimally invasive surgery, using modern medication and providing healthcare for men and women of all ages. However, the question is whether the trend of the present time is not missing.
Nowadays, but especially in the coming years, the urologists will be gradually confronted with the increasing number of the aging population. This implies the need for a partial reorientation of urology.
However, this trend needs to reflect the entire health system, including healthcare insurance companies. In elderly patients, the majority of the care is focused on the tumors of the upper and lower urinary tract with the leading role of prostate cancer in men.
In benign diagnosis, it is worth mentioning, that urologists provide diagnosis and treatment of lower urinary symptoms, overactive bladder, incontinence, urinary tract infections, urolithiasis, and erectile dysfunction. All these diagnoses are separate units, they are given a symposium, and their issues are updated in the guidelines.
As well as pediatric urology has its position, a new branch of urology focused on a geriatric patient will be probably formed.
