title: Doctor Antonio Alfaro's notes in the treaty by Desault and Bichat. First urological work in Spanish in the XIX Century.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We performed a study on the notes made by doctor Antonio Alfaro to the book by Bichat and Desault "Treaty of urinary tract diseases".
  
  
  RESULTS
  Such notes are altogether more extensive than the work they accompany. In them we see the knowledge about the treatment of urinary tract diseases in the beginning of the XIX century had a great level and, at least, similar to that of other European countries. The notes are accompanied by multiple references to surgeons of various times, and publications of that time. All them conform a real Urology text with its own personality.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Dr. Antonio Alfaro must be among the Spanish urological medical literature authors of the 19th Century.
