De Historia Urologiae Europaeae

From the first edition, presented at the 11th EAU Congress in Berlin, Germany in 1994, the EAU's History Office has produced an annual volume of research into the origins of urology. Over the years, this body of work has grown to cover a wide range of historical and cultural facets of the field. Now, for the first time, every volume is collected and freely available on Uroweb. Browse the editions below and read them as originally published over the past thirty years.
