What is Urology?

Urology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the male reproductive system, and the urinary tract in both males and females. Urologists are responsible for diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, including: 

What is Urology Malpractice? 

Urology malpractice is a type of medical malpractice that occurs when a urologist fails to perform his duties to his patient with the required professional standard of care. Some examples include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of serious conditions like cancer
  • Surgical errors during procedures such as vasectomies or prostate surgeries
  • Failure to properly monitor patients post-surgery
  • Failure to obtain informed consent before performing a procedure

These errors can lead to devastating consequences, which such as:

  • Permanent damage to the urinary tract 
  • Permanent damage to the reproductive system
  • Worsening of conditions
  • Loss of fertility
  • Wrongful death

Urologists must have specialized knowledge and skills to properly address these complex issues. And in addition to the standard education, residency requirements, and training, urologists who practice in New York must also acquire a license from the New York State Department of Education (NYSDOE). 

A urologist who is still waiting to pass the required examination may still practice in New York. But only after acquiring a special permit and working under the supervision of a duly licensed doctor. Should you be injured by an unlicensed urologist in the State of New York, you may be able to recover compensation from them for medical malpractice. This may even include the hospital they worked for in a negligent hiring and supervision case.
