At a time when advances in so many areas of medicine and surgery mean that hitherto catastrophic diseases can be prevented, diagnosed, or treated with amazing precision and efficiency, the urinary track remains relatively ignored by molecular biology and medical technology. This article addresses some of the reasons underlying this phenomenon and points to major technical and commercial opportunities in this neglected area.
