The roots of Urology in the city of Pune can be traced back to the year 1967, when a young dynamic surgeon, Dr.Shivadeo Bapat, arrived on the scene and used for the first time a still Endocamera to shoot and display the endoscopic pictures of the interior of the lower urinary tract for the first time in the country. The full credit of the foundation of the Urology Society of the city solely goes to Dr S. S. Bapat. who at his age of 35 years took an important call to dedicate his life to the field of research and practice of Urology in the year 1971.
