The development, present status and future trends in the use of computers in urology in the Federal Republic of Germany are reviewed. The hardware, software required for hospital and private practice and the staff needed are discussed. Proposals are given for the installation and stepwise upgrading of computer systems, from simple text processing units to complex hospital communication systems. Finally new technologies that might considerably change the use of computers in urology are presented.
