Demand for urology devices is being driven by growing prevalence of urological diseases and growing awareness about urological conditions among the population. Urology has seen a very conspicuous shift towards less invasive treatment methods. Treatment of prostate cancer is shifting from radical prostatectomy to less intrusive alternatives such as laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and brachytherapy. Similarly, urinary stones are being managed by less invasive treatment options such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and ureteroscopy as compared to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and open surgery.
