“…Although their proportion of female urologists is only about 10% in the United States, their large number may explain this result. According to the latest reports, the proportion of female urologists in Brazil is about 2.7% (1/37); however, in contrast to our overall results, the first author ratio in Brazil (20%) is surprisingly high 19 …”

“…According to the latest reports, the proportion of female urologists in Brazil is about 2.7% (1/37); however, in contrast to our overall results, the first author ratio in Brazil (20%) is surprisingly high. 19 We believe there are multiple reasons for the academic underrepresentation of women in urology. First of all, there is serious inequality in the number of female urologists working in leading positions in urology.…”

“…Proportions of female first and senior authors composing each subspecialty are given in Figure 3. The ratio of female first authors was 9.5% (48/501) in general urology, 19 In addition, the female first and senior authors of the publications in these journals were classified according to their geographic distribution. The total 267 publications with female urologists as first author were submitted from 27 different countries, while the 161 publications with female senior authors were from 21 different countries.…”

Background The number of women among medical doctors and surgeons continues to rise. However, urology remains one of the least preferred specialties by female physicians, resulting in the inadequate academic representation of female urologists. In this study we examined changes in the representation of female urologists in the journals European Urology (EU) and Journal of Urology (JOU) and investigated in which urology subspecialties female urologists focus their academic studies. Methods Original articles, reviews and case reports published in EU and JOU were included in the study. The analysis was limited to 4 years, starting with 2004 and continuing at 5‐year intervals until 2019.The publications were also classified according to urology subspecialty and geographic location. Results In total, 2708 articles were analysed. Overall, women accounted for 9.9% of first authors (267/2708) and 5.9% of senior authors (161/2708).The proportion of female first authors was 8.2% in 2004 and increased to 10.7% in 2009, 10.6% in 2014, and 11.6% in 2019 (P = 0.062). The proportion of female last authors was 7% in 2004 and 5.3%, 6.1%, and 2.5% in 2009, 2014, and 2019, respectively (P = 0.011). Women accounted for a significantly higher proportion of first authors than men in publications related to female and paediatric urology (P = 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively). Conclusions The increasing number of women urologists worldwide is not reflected in the scientific authorship of female urologists. Multicenter studies focusing on the elimination of gender disparity in academic representation are needed in surgical branches such as urology.

“…The studies used questionnaires regarding age, years since obtaining a specialty, type of work, location of work, hours worked per week, marital status, and specific specialization. Most of these surveys were conducted with more than 100 women and at least 50 female urologists [ 5 12 13 14 ]. Continuous updates on the status of female urologists are needed in the future.…”

Purpose The number of female urologists, including residents, has gradually increased and has recently exceeded 50. This study aimed to investigate the current status of female urologists in South Korea. Materials and Methods Total number of female and male urology specialists and residents, annual new Korean board-certified female and male urologists recent 5 years were obtained from the Korean Urological Association database. Data on working status, region, and subspecialty were collected via a telephone survey. Results Fifty-four female urologists including 40 urology specialists and 14 urology residents participated in the study. Since the first female doctor received a urology board in 1999, zero to five female doctors have obtained urology board annually. Approximately 50% of female specialists and residents worked in metropolitan areas. The proportion of female urology physicians working in university hospitals was 52.5%. Three had only urology-oncology subspecialties, while the rest had non-oncologic or both subspecialties. Conclusions Female urologists are evenly distributed across the country, following the population distribution of Korea. Female urologists are employed in various fields. More female urologists chose non-oncology and double majors as subspecialties than they chose oncology. It is necessary to pay attention to female urologists, who form a minority within the Korean Urological Association, so that they can be continuously produced and actively engaged in various fields.
