Urology has been separated from its parent generic specialty at different times during the last 150 years in different countries. In Pakistan, from 1947 to 1970s, urology was part of surgery and was done by general surgeons. There were only two urology units from late 1950s to early 1960s. ⋯ At present, there are 11 specialised kidney centres and institutes of urology in the country and 25 recognised urology centres for FCPS. More such centres and replication of the SIUT model is expected in Pakistan. Key Words: Urology, Endourology, Transplantation, Pakistan.
