The journal spans the entire spectrum of urology, both basically and clinically, covering urological oncology, endourology, calculi, female urology, erectile dysfunction, pediatrics, infertility, renal transplantation, reconstructive surgery and neurourology. Its articles include original articles, reviews and mini-reviews, letters, Asian focus, research highlights, editorials, rapid communications, perspectives, clinical experience, clinical images, commentaries, case reports, urological data, and more.
Through the publication of epidemiological, genetic and regional papers, as well as occupational, clinical and health policy studies from across Asia, the journal's feature column - Asian Focus - has drawn wide attention.
