Kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate and the male reproductive tract: stones and the obstructed infected kidney that cannot wait, bladder cancer surveyed and resected through the urethra, and a specialty that reached keyhole surgery before almost anyone else.

What the specialty does in theatre: each operation with its image, its indication, and the doors into OR prep and the step-by-step walkthrough.
Featured operation

Indication: Obstructed infected kidney (pyonephrosis), the urological emergency; obstruction with failing renal function.
