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.

“…Urethral injury was detected the least injury and ureter injury was not detected. In other studies, it was defined that the most frequently injured urinary organ was kidney and ureter trauma was rare [2,7,11,[13][14][15]. The study of Schmidlin stated that kidney injury due to a external force has the highest probability of genitourinary organ injury [14].…”

Objectives Emergency urologic conditions are relatively common, albeit rarely life threatening, there is often a need for prompt and expedient management in order to avert severe or permanent morbidities. This study aimed to evaluate the spectrum of Urologic emergencies and interventions offered in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria. Patients and methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who were managed in our institution for emergency urologic conditions over a period of 6 years (2011–2017). The data extracted included; the demographic information, diagnosis and the treatment offered. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Data were displayed using mean +/− standard deviation and percentages. Results The records of a total of 681 patients were retrieved and they span across almost all ages with age range or 2–90 years. Urinary retention was the commonest emergency seen, accounting for 51.7% of the patients. Testicular torsion was the next most common (10%), others are bilateral ureteric obstruction and priapism with 5.4% and 5.3% respectively. Suprapubic cystostomy (SPC) was the commonest operative procedure performed (37.6%). The age range for patients with urinary retention was 3–90 years, though the peak incidence was in the 7th decade (37.3%). Patients with testicular torsion were young adults between the ages of 11 and 44 years. Conclusion Urinary retention was the commonest urologic emergency followed by testicular torsion. Though urethral catheterization was successful in most patients urinary retention, making it the commonest procedure. SPC was the commonest emergency operative procedure performed. Other emergencies occurred sporadically.
