The surgical technology of Urology is one of the most complex areas in the field of medicine. In recent years, with increasing technology and science many types of surgeries and treatments have been introduced. Some of them are- minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopy surgery, laser- assisted surgeries etc. Urologists have to undergo a thorough and tough training in open and minimally invasive surgical techniques, which includes ultrasound guidance, endoscopy using fiber- optic equipment and various lasers in the treatment of multiple benign and malignant conditions. In addition, nowadays urologists are also seeking training in the use of robotics in the laparoscopy surgery.

Out of these 5 years, one should spend about 12 months training in general surgery, and other clinical disciplines relevant to urology. Also, the additional practice of 36 months must be completed in clinical urology. After all kind of training and education, they are qualified as Urologists can start their own practice or work in a hospital by receiving a medical license.
