Department of Urology started catering to the outpatients from 26th February 1993. The operation theatre became functional two months later. The department being well equipped with most modern state of art technology comparable to any other national institute, took off at a high level. Besides general urology the subspectialities like Neuro-urology, Infertility, renal transplantation, endo-urology, paediatric urology, uro-oncology and trauma care grew fast simultaneously.
With the coming of the new millennium a plethora of advances in technology in medicine have come as a gift for the ailing humanity. Age old open surgical interventions are becoming less popular and endoscopic and laporoscopic surgeries are taking over. In Urology, endoscopic management of stones and prostatic hyperplasia has witnessed exemplary development.
