Analyses of Urological Emergencies in Karabuk State Hospital

Abstract

In this study, we aimed to investigate the epidemiology, clinical presentation and the therapeutic interventions of urological emergencies in Karabük State Hospital. Urological emergency cases admitted to the emergency room of Karabük State Hospital between December 2006 and December 2008 were investigated retrospectively. Among 207 568 emergency cases, 5 544 (2,67%) were urologic emergencies. 45,3% were male (mean age: 47,4 years), 54,6% were female (mean age:37,9 years), 5,2% of the cases were children and 13,24% were older than 70. The most frequent emergencies were genitourinary infections constituting 54,15% of cases followed by renal colic (33,1%) and acute urinary retantion (7,97%). 72 patients had genitourinary system trauma (1,3%). 490 (8,83%) cases were hospitalized and 98 (1,76) underwent emergent surgical intervention. The most frequent surgical intervention was percutaneous cystostomy catheterisation in 60 patients (61,22%). Only 6 patients were reffered to another health center. Consultation with an urologist was required for 502 patients (9,05%). In literature, there is only limited data about the epidemiology of urological emergencies and further studies with large patient series are necessary to increase the data. Most of the urological emergency cases do not require emergent surgical intervention however, abrupt decision making in treatment is important to prevent late complications. That's why the physicans working in emergency rooms must be aware of the urological emergencies.
