Aim: Especially in recent years, with the increase in the number of patients admitted to the emergency services the number of urological emergencies is increasing. Some of these require immediate attention. There are not enough studies on urological emergencies in our country. In this study, we aimed to investigate the demographic data of patients over the age of 18 who presented to the emergency department with non-traumatic urological emergency complaints. Materials and Methods: This study was designed based on a 6-month prospective, cross-sectional study. After obtaining the approval of the ethics committee, patients over the age of 18 with urological emergency complaints were examined between 06.11.2019 and 06.05.2020. Results: The ratio of urological emergencies to all patients was found to be 1.5%. 56.76% (n: 231) of the patients were male and 43.24% (n = 176) were female. In the study was found 44.7% of the patients to be urinary tract infection, 31.45% renal colic, 8.8% hematuria, 6.88% acute urinary retention. In our study, urology consultation was requested for 19% of urological emergency patients. Emergency intervention was applied to 21.13% of all urological emergency cases. Emergency operation was required for 1.47% of the patients. 10.81% of the patients required hospitalization. Conclusion: As a result, urological emergencies are common. Among these cases, there may be diseases that require urgent intervention or surgery. It is very important for the patients the emergency physicians who evaluate the patient first to make a careful and meticulous evaluation and to make a urology consultation if necessary.

“…A pool analysis of eight retrospective studies (Figure 2 ) from Senegal[ 15 - 17 ], Burkina Faso[ 18 ], Benin[ 19 , 20 ], Guinea[ 21 ], Nigeria[ 22 - 24 ] and Ivory Coast[ 25 , 26 ] evaluating 21904 patients presenting with urological emergencies revealed that approximately 6.6% of cases were due to genitourinary trauma. Further analysis of genitourinary trauma in the Sub-Saharan region showed that the rate of urethral injury[ 16 , 19 , 21 , 27 , 28 ] was the highest 42.9% (22.2%-62.2%) followed by injury to the external genitalia (penis, scrotum, testes) [ 15 , 16 , 19 - 21 , 24 - 28 ] at a rate of 25.1% (8.8%-67.7%).…”

“…Nevertheless, trauma represent a significant proportion of disease burden in the region. A pool analysis of 21904 patients presenting with urological emergencies from Senegal[ 15 - 17 ], Burkina Faso[ 18 ], Benin[ 19 , 20 ], Guinea[ 21 ], Nigeria[ 22 - 24 ] and Ivory Coast[ 25 , 26 ] revealed that approximately 6.6% of cases were due to genitourinary trauma. This finding is however lower than the global estimate of genitourinary injury at 10%.…”

BACKGROUND Trauma is a major cause of morbidity globally and the sixth leading cause of death, accounting for 10% of all mortalities. The genitourinary trauma is estimated for approximately 10% of all patients presenting with trauma, and the kidney is the most injured genitourinary organ globally. However, there is a paucity of data on genitourinary injury from the Sub-Saharan, and there may be variations from common genitourinary organs injured in developed nations. AIM To provide insight on the epidemiology and management of genitourinary trauma in Sub-Saharan Africa with recommendations based on international guidelines. METHODS A thorough literature search of genitourinary trauma was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar and African Journal Online. RESULTS A total of 30 studies from the Sub-Saharan region were eligible for the study and reviewed for epidemiology, biodata, types of injury, mechanisms of injury, treatment and follow-up. After evaluating 21904 patients presenting with urological emergencies, approximately 6.6% of cases were due to genitourinary trauma. The commonest injury was urethral 42.9% (22.2-62.2%) followed by injury to the external genitalia (penis, scrotum, testes) 25.1% (8.8-67.7%). CONCLUSION Genitourinary injury in Sub-Saharan Africa is underreported, and the presence of more trauma registries, trained urologists and trauma facilities could improve the overall standard of care as well as providing data for research and development in the field.

Background: Pediatric urological emergencies constitute an essential part of pediatric surgical practice and remain a common event in the children emergency room. The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience in the management of pediatric urologic emergencies. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of children aged 15 years and below who presented, as emergent/urgent cases, to the Children Emergency Room (CHER) with problems of the urogenital system. This study covered a period of 5 years. The data extracted included the patients’ age, gender, presenting complaint, clinical diagnosis, operative procedure performed, duration of hospital stay and outcome of treatment. Results: Out of 4,986 cases of pediatric surgical emergencies seen during the 5 year study period, pediatric urologic emergencies accounted for 502 (10.1%) cases of the emergencies. More males were affected. Acutely swollen scrotum and acute hydrocele were the predominant presenting complaint and diagnosis respectively. Urethral catheterization was the most performed emergency procedure. Herniotomy for hydrocele was the most performed electively. Out of the 502 cases of urologic emergencies seen, 221 (44.0%) were discharged from the CHER for follow up in the outpatient clinic. There were 10 (2%) mortalities resulting mostly from overwhelming sepsis. Conclusion: Urologic emergencies in children may be a cause of morbidity and mortality. Adequate knowledge of the pattern, presentation and management outcome is important to improve patients’ care.
