  The first clinic of urology  was established in Budapest in 1920, with Géza Illyés serving as its first professor and chair. Urology has been an independent subject of study at the medical faculty of Péter Pázmány University and later at Semmelweis University since 1921. Illyés’ s activity was highly respected internationally, and by 1939 more than a 100 visitors came to the clinic from the USA and another 100 visitors came from other countries. After the World War II, owing to the outstanding professors and staff, the department still plays an important role in the development of urology in Europe. The clinic with its educational, scientific and clinical work still has an important role in the European urological map.

  A significant milestone in the history of the Urology Clinic in Debrecen was celebrated with a jubilee lecture series held on May 10, 2024. Urological patients were initially treated from 1921 at the Faculty of Medicine of the István Tisza University of Debrecen, within the Surgical Clinic led by Tivadar Hüttl. In 1958, an independent urology department and outpatient clinic began operations within the Surgical Clinic, and in 1972, the urology care system was relocated to the II. Surgical Clinic at its current location. The independent Urology Clinic was officially established on July 1, 1974, under the leadership of Márton Kelenhegyi. In 1979, József Pintér became the clinic’s director, followed by Csaba Tóth in 1995. Professor Tóth introduced numerous open and endoscopic urological surgical procedures, was a founding figure in the field, mentored many renowned urologists both nationally and internationally, and placed strong emphasis on scientific rigor. Since 2006, the clinic has been led by Associate Professor Tibor Flaskó, who has further developed laparoscopic procedures. In 2022, the former Urology Department of Kenézy Gyula Hospital was integrated into the structure of the Urology Clinic
