This is a timeline of urology, describing significant events in the development of the field. Recognition of urology as a separate specialty or subspecialty of general surgery is relatively recent.[1]

Big picture

Time period Development summary
Ancient history Evidence of many diseases and even some surgical procedures date to ancient times, diseases that later would come under the purview of urology.[1]
17th century “Stone cutters”, or travelling lithotomists, practise bladder stone removal throughout Europe.[2]
19th century The development of the cystoscope contributes to the splitting off of urology from general surgery.[1] In the late century, urology as a specialty in its own right emerges.
20th century The field of urology develops at an astonishing speed.[2] Instrumental develops widely in the first half of the century, while many organizations and journals emerge in the second half.
