Introduction:

Urology is a surgical speciality that deals with prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to male and female urinary system and male reproductive system. The organs of urinary system are kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder and urethra while male reproductive system includes testis, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis. Urology is a separate speciality from general surgery due to high prevalence of urologic diseases, difference in practice and training, constant innovation in technologies and medical therapies.

History:

The Urology department at Khyber Teaching Hospital was established in 2017 with a single Senior Registrar post. Later on a post of Assistant Professor was created who worked under surgical department. With increasing patient burden, a separate urology department was allocated in Ophthalmology ward in 2018. The ward had one Assitant Professor, One Registrar and Five institutional medical officers.

Today the urology ward is fully functional with two Assistant professors, One Experiential Registrar, One Trainee Registrar and Institutional medical officers round the clock. The ward has 24 beds for inpatients. We have two operating theaters twice a week and two outpatient departments twice a week with daily ward rounds.
