Abstract

In the eastern Mediterranean region during antiquity important civilizations flourished, such as those of Egypt and Greece. Medicine progressed through anatomy and surgery. Surgical instruments advanced, and medicine during the Greek classical era moved out of the theurgic phase to the scientific phase. Urology would begin gradually with circumcision and diuretic herbs, to later evolve into a wide variety of interventions and herbal preparations. Hippocrates (460-377 BC) was to devote many passages to urinary diseases, similarly Aetius (502-575) and Paulus Aeginitis (625- 690). The Romans adopted Greek medicine, as did the Arabs subsequently. The latter perceived that through the achievements of Greco-Roman medicine they could meet practical needs and create their own scientific basis. They translated the most important of the written works, came into contact with doctors of other nations and started their own school. Surgical procedures for hernia, urethral stenosis and stone removal began to develop. A variety of surgical instruments and catheters were devised and manufactured in order to serve the needs of surgical interventions and procedures in the lower urinary tract. Herbs were used as diuretics, to treat ulcers, as well as to prevent and treat lithiasis. Rhazes (c. 864/865-925/935), Avicenna (c.980-1037), Sabuncuoglu (1385-1468) and many other Arabs of the Islamic Golden Age contributed with their achievements to the development of urology. The fundamental principles of treatment of urological diseases, the basic surgical instruments, the main invasive techniques and of course the catheter, bear witness to the present day the contribution of the Arabs of this period. Urology owes to the Arabs the rescue and preservation of Greco-Roman medicine, which along with their own contribution was passed in translation from Arabic to Latin, giving impetus for further development in the medical schools of Western Europe.
