Urology
I am looking for a urologist to write this section.
Acute urinary retention is very easy to treat if you have a
sterile urinary catheter, and almost impossible to treat if
you don't. Untreated, it would probably lead to a very
unpleasant death within days. How did the Romans and
medieval Europeans treat it (if at all)? At some point
in the future, we will probably not have access to
disposable rubber or plastic catheters and we will have to
resort to using catheters made of other materials (metal for
example). Can you foresee any other changes to
urological practice?
