The contemporary demands on doctors who work in Mexico in the area of Urology require that they make great efforts to continuously reduce morbidity and mortality from urological diseases. Diseases of the urinary system occupy fourth place nationally, with a mean national rate of 5,0 (INEGI, 2004). Moreover, the most common causes for hospital stays for the 45 to 64 year-old age group are those related to the genitourinary tract (OPS, Cap. Mexico), which, without adequate attention from competent urologists, will continue to grow at the same rate as the population growth, generating great health problems and unnecessary expenses for the nation.
