They were gathered, initially, at the Hospital de Santa Catalina, which was called Hospital General de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación y San Roque, facing the present Palacio de las Cortes. In 1596, by order of Philip III, it moved to the Albergue de Mendigos, built on the esparto field of the southern area of the city. In 1603, Ferdinand VI ordered the construction of a new General Hospital at the end of the Atocha street, which, started in 1758, opened unfinished in 1781 during the reign of Charles III. Ferdinand VI approved the creation of the first Association of Surgeons of Spain, the Real de San Fernando, very short-lived, which was located in the General Hospital, later, in 1787, the Real Colegio de Cirugía de San Carlos settled on its ground floor.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Since 1849, the center has been governed and administered by the Provincial Council and was renamed as Provincial Hospital. It was the second hospital in the country to have a Department of Urology, thanks to the doctor and provincial deputy Dr. Pulido Fernández, who with his Regulations of the Medical-Pharmaceutical corps of Charity of the Provincial Hospitals of Madrid, approved on 15th July 1889, managed the disintegration of General Surgery with the separation of the different branches of surgical specialties, among which was that of the urinary tract. It also facilitated that the teaching ability was given to these centers, as well as the awarding of specialist diploma to the doctors trained there.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1–3</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The first person in charge of performing genitourinary assistance was Alfredo Rodríguez Viforcos (Aravaca [Madrid], 1854–1903). He had studied Medicine at the Colegio de San Carlos, where he graduated in 1875, and in 1882, after obtaining a position as a surgeon by means of a competitive examination at the Hospital, he was appointed to the care of patients with ‘diseases of the urinary system’ because of his interest or special dedication to this disease. He excelled at his surgical skill and was appointed head of the Department following its creation in 1889. After his death, Antonio Piqueras Bravo (Madrid, 1856–1914), who entered the center thanks to a competitive examination in 1880, succeeded him as the head in 1904. Excellent clinician and experienced surgeon, completely devoted to his profession, he excelled at the treatment of wounds by bull horn.

From 1928, he managed to transform it and make it considered the best of Spain at that time. He published <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Urología Clínica</span>, a journal in which, in addition to scientific articles, he meticulously exposes the changes in the Department and the work done, with careful annual statistics on the assistance given, the operations, and the mortality.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Material and methods</span><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We analyzed the publication <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Urología Clínica</span>, subtitled “Boletín Del Servicio de Urología del Dr. Sánchez Covisa Department”, edited in the press of the Navy Department, Madrid, and that after an exhaustive search we could only find it in the library of the Fundación Puigver, Barcelona.

He gained access to the Hospital by means of a selection process involving competitive examinations and interviews, in 1907, with a position in the urinary tract office, where he developed his career. He took responsibility for the leadership of the Department in 1914, he began a great both clinical and surgical work that included various studies, helped by an excellent team of contributors, and he also created a training school in the specialty.

He explained the distribution of the enclosures that it consists of, those for use in endoscopy (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0020">Fig. 4</a>), one for men and one for women, a radiographic cabinet, an office of Pathological Anatomy, and one for the assembly of the parts of the museum, located in another room attached; a chemical and bacteriological laboratory where all the urine and renal function analytical determinations are performed on a daily basis, and which also has an electrically adjustable incubator and with a Zeiss binocular microscope; in other premises is the record of histories and the classifier files (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0025">Fig. 5</a>), and, finally, the surgical department with two pieces, one aseptic (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0030">Fig. 6</a>), and another septic.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0015"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0020"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0025"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0030"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">He continued with the organization of the two hospitalization wards, the one for women, with 20 beds and 4 for children, and the one for men with 35; the latter divides it longitudinally in half by means of a partition of 1.80<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>m high inside which run electrical and telephone cables, and where he built a sort of a niche with glass doors to locate the container or bottle of urine ‘[...] which makes it possible to observe the appearance and amount thereof, by a glance through its transparent door [...]’; inside, and all along this wall runs a ventilation duct to prevent unpleasant odors. It has, on both sides of the wall and every 4<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>m, partition walls, on whose sides are the beds attached and opposite by their headboards on either side of the partition wall, in which a metallic closet adjacent to each bed is built. This way, he set an appropriate distance between them, which facilitates easy access and provides some insulation. He installed, in addition, three separate rooms for paying patients and enabled a stay as a dining room, with separate tables for 4 people, also used as recreational space.</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">He exposed the statistics of the work carried out in the Department in the three-year period 1928–1930, which included examinations, analytical determinations, and various urological treatments with a total number of 37,710. The operations of this period were 58 nephrectomies, 4 nephrostomies, and 106 performances on the ureter, with a mortality of 12.3%. On the bladder, 65 interventions were performed, all of them hypogastric sizes due to various indications and with a mortality of 21.5%. On the prostate, hypogastric prostatectomy was performed in 16 cases in one time and 33 in two, and one perineally due to cancer; mortality was 8%. In the other processes on the urethra, 113 performances were carried out with 5 cases of death from septicemia, 61 on the penis and testicles, and 51 on the scrotum and vagina.

He had an excellent team of collaborators. Among them was the intern doctor Luis Resel Maceira (Madrid, 1908–1988), who studied at the Colegio de San Carlos, where he graduated in 1931. He was in charge of surgery on Mondays. Later, he was the professor in charge of the professorship in Anatomy and associate professor of Urology, at the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad Complutense. In 1953, thanks to a competitive examination, he got a position as a doctor at the Provincial Charity and worked as a specialist at the Social Security.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> He wrote an article.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Several external aggregate doctors excelled.

In 1955, he was an associate professor of Urology at the Universidad de Madrid<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> and a company secretary of the Board of Directors of the AEU in 1932. He was a very prolific author, with sixteen studies. Luis Angulo Pastor (Burgos, 1906–1990), graduated in 1929 and trained at the Hospital Provincial de Madrid, stayed there with the task of performing cystoscopy on women. 5 articles are collected. Joaquín Sánchez Covisa (Huete [Cuenca], 1884–Madrid, 1973), graduated from the Universidad de Madrid in 1907, was Isidro's brother, with whom he specialized in Urology. He was also a radiologist, so he was in charge of making these explorations.

He went to Madrid to prepare his Ph.D. with Dr. de la Peña Díaz, who introduced him into Urology, and, decided to specialize, he entered the Department of Sánchez Covisa where he helped in female cystoscopy. After a year, he obtained a scholarship and moved to Berlin to the Virchow Hospital surgical clinic.

In complicated cases, they resort to uretero-intestinal diversion by Coffey's method, analyzing its procedure and guidelines. They also perform a total prostatectomy due to carcinoma with Young's technique. They describe infectious processes with resolution of urinous abscesses, urethral strictures, and urinary incontinence symptoms as the most outstanding articles. In addition, interesting clinical cases, of tuberculosis, of hydatidosis, and mere reviews of various casuistries are shown, as well as the analysis of their 250 suprapubic prostatectomies; finally, there are some research papers on renal function tests.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In summary, the prestige that the Urology Unit of the Hospital Provincial de Madrid reached attracted sick people already treated and operated in their place of origin, so the pathology treated was complicated and the surgery practiced was in line with the best centers at the time, with a usually good surgical outcome and a declining mortality in recent years.
