Urological emergencies are common, with nephritic colic, hematuria, and urinary tract infections being leading causes. Most patients received non-surgical treatment, though testicular disease and sepsis required surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Retrospective Studies

Context:

  • Analysis of urological emergencies in a general hospital setting over one year.
  • Excludes pediatric cases, focusing on adult urological emergencies.
  • Investigates the incidence, characteristics, and management of urological emergencies.

Purpose:

  • To determine the incidence and types of urological emergencies presenting to a general hospital.
  • To analyze demographic data (age, sex) and seasonal variations of these emergencies.
  • To evaluate the treatment modalities, including medical, instrumental, and surgical interventions.

Summary:

  • 3,244 urological emergencies were recorded (4.2% of total cases), with urologists involved in 43.4%.
  • Predominantly affected males in their sixth and seventh decades; slight increase in summer.

  • Nephritic colic, hematuria, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) were the most frequent causes. 20.14% required hospitalization, with 3.4% undergoing surgery, mainly for testicular disease, sepsis, or trauma.

    • Impact:

    • Provides insights into the epidemiology and clinical patterns of urological emergencies in a general hospital.
    • Highlights the need for efficient emergency department protocols for urological conditions.
    • Informs resource allocation and treatment strategies for common and severe urological emergencies.
