The science of urology emerged as a specialty in Spain three centuries earlier than in the rest of Europe. Publication of the Treaty of Urology by Francisco Díaz in 1588 and the founding of a permanent professorship in Madrid in 1612 for the teaching and treatment of urological conditions, represent the most relevant background for the future and still distant development of the specialty. In this paper we disclose new biographical data on the scholar Martín de Castellanos, first professor 'of Urology' in the history of Medicine and briefly discuss the innovation that the founding of the chair meant for the future regulations of this surgical specialty.
泌尿外科学在西班牙成为一门专科比欧洲其他地区早三个世纪。1588年弗朗西斯科·迪亚斯出版了《泌尿学条约》，1612年在马德里设立了一个永久性教授职位用于泌尿疾病的教学与治疗，这些是该专科未来虽仍遥远但至关重要的发展背景。在本文中，我们披露了学者马丁·德·卡斯特利亚诺斯的新传记资料，他是医学史上首位“泌尿学”教授，并简要讨论了该职位的设立对这一外科专科未来规范所意味的创新。
