Results of a BAUS membership survey (first published Mar 2014)

Urological emergencies account for almost 25% of general surgical emergency work. Conditions encountered in the emergency situation include:

• Trauma
• Torsion (pictured right)
• Ureteric colic
• UTI & pyelonephritis
• Pyonephrosis
• Haematuria & clot retention
• Fournier's gangrene
• Urinary retention (acute & chronic)
• Epididymo-orchitis & scrotal abscess
• Paraphimosis

Members of BAUS were surveyed in February 2014 on their provisions for emergency urological cover.
