description BACKGROUND: Although urological specialist practices are central pillars of outpatient care, there is a lack of current data on the care structure of these practices. A description of the structures in large cities versus rural areas as well as gender effects and generational differences is needed not only as a baseline measure for further studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The survey includes data from the physician directory of the Stiftung Gesundheit as well as from the German Medical Association and the Federal Statistical Office. Colleagues were divided into subgroups. Based on the different subgroup sizes, statements about the care structure of outpatient urology in Germany can be made. RESULTS: While the majority of urologists in larger cities work in professional practice groups and care for fewer patients on average, in rural areas there is a particularly high proportion of individual practices with more inhabitants to be cared for per urologist. Female urologists work more frequently in the context of inpatient care. When female urology specialists choose to establish themselves, they are more likely to do so in practice groups and in urban areas. In addition, there is a shift in gender distribution: the younger the age subgroup considered, the higher the proportion of female urologists among all colleagues. CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to describe the current structure of outpatient urology care in Germany. Future trends are already emerging that will significantly influence our way of working and the care of patients in the coming years.
