Formation and scientific structuring stage ATLAS TIP Association Urology & Reproductive Health Working Group

ATLAS Urology & Reproductive Health

A year-round scientific working group integrating urinary and reproductive health through clinical excellence, acute urological care, andrology, uro-oncology, minimally invasive surgery, research, education and public health.

Better balance, stronger lives.
ATLAS Urology & Reproductive Health
Vision 2030

A living scientific network that produces and connects across disciplines.

To become an internationally visible scientific platform originating from Türkiye that integrates urinary health, reproductive health, andrology, uro-oncology, endourology, functional urology and minimally invasive surgery with education, research and technology.

Strategic Architecture

Seven strategic pillars

Clinical excellence, research, education, technology and public impact are integrated into one working system.

01

Clinical Excellence

High-quality clinical decision-making, diagnostics, guideline implementation and complex case management.

Clinical algorithms, cases and decision tools
02

Acute Urological Care

Renal colic, retention, hematuria, torsion, sepsis and other time-sensitive urological conditions.

Acute urology pathways and case series
03

Andrology & Reproductive Health

Infertility, sexual health, male and couple-centred reproductive health and functional care.

Reproductive-health programs and clinical tools
04

Uro-Oncology & Minimally Invasive Care

Prostate, kidney and bladder care with endourology, laparoscopy, robotics and minimally invasive approaches.

Masterclasses, multidisciplinary boards and technical education
05

Research & Evidence

Multicenter studies, registries, real-world data and methodologically rigorous scientific production.

Papers, registries and white papers
06

Education & Simulation

Education for students, residents and specialists through cases, skills training and simulation.

Academy, simulation and microlearning
07

Prevention & Public Urogenital Health

Stone prevention, lifestyle, early diagnosis, prevention and public urogenital/reproductive health literacy.

Public programs and health literacy
Signature Programs

From meetings to durable scientific outputs

ATLAS UroCore

The scientific backbone of urology: clinical excellence, guideline-to-practice, masterclasses and decision tools.

ATLAS UroBridge

Permanent scientific bridges with emergency medicine, nephrology, women’s health, oncology, radiology, pathology, reproductive medicine and technology.

ATLAS UroCase

Clinical decision, complication, imaging and treatment-strategy discussions through real cases.

ATLAS ReproAI Lab

AI validation platform for reproductive health, imaging, risk prediction, decision support and digital urology.

ATLAS UroRegistry

Multicenter real-world data network in urinary health, uro-oncology, reproductive health and surgical outcomes.

Young ATLAS Urology

Next-generation academic development through Mentor → Project → Abstract → Paper.

ATLAS Urogenital Health

Prevention, early diagnosis and public communication on urogenital and reproductive health.

Interdisciplinary Bridge

UroBridge connects urinary and reproductive health with other disciplines.

Emergency UrologyEmergency Medicine

Initial management of renal colic, torsion, retention, hematuria, sepsis and trauma

Uro-OncologyOncology / Pathology / Radiology

Multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of prostate, kidney and bladder cancers

Reproductive MedicineObstetrics / Reproductive Medicine

Couple-centred infertility, fertility preservation and reproductive health

Urogynecology & Pelvic HealthWomen’s Health / Rehabilitation

Incontinence, pelvic floor and functional urogenital health

Nephro-UrologyNephrology

Stone disease, obstruction, renal function and urinary-system interaction

Robotic & Minimally Invasive UrologySurgery / Technology

Robotics, laparoscopy, endourology and technical performance

Uro-Infectious DiseaseInfectious Diseases

Complicated UTI, urosepsis, antimicrobial care and source control

UroAI & EngineeringEngineering / Data Science

Imaging AI, decision support, sensors and digital follow-up

Research Network

Registry and multicenter project pipeline

Clinical questions are translated into durable scientific output through standardized data dictionaries, ethics/data governance, analysis plans and publication outputs.

Governance

Scientific freedom + institutional continuity + measurable output

The ATLAS Board manages the institutional framework, compliance and sustainability. The working group scientific chair and core team develop the annual scientific agenda, quality standards, research and education priorities.

Scientific Independence & Ethics

Safeguards for trustworthy scientific production

  • Scientific content, speakers and research priorities are governed independently of sponsors or commercial partners.
  • Reproductive, sexual-health and genitourinary data are treated as highly sensitive health data; privacy and data minimization are essential.
  • Surgical and procedural education explicitly defines competence boundaries, supervision and patient-safety safeguards.
  • AI/digital projects report data sources, model versions, validation cohorts, performance limitations and human oversight.
  • Public communication avoids stigmatizing or gender-biased language and frames reproductive health across both women’s and men’s health.
