ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Proposal To highlight the indications for emergency surgery during the 2019 Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) that support recommendations published in midMarch 2020 by the American Confederation of Urology on its website. Materials and

Methods:

A bibliographic search was conducted in PubMed and Cochrane Library to perform a non-systematic review, using key words Urology, Emergency and COVID-19, to determine recommendations for patients that should receive emergency care due to urological pathology.

Results:

The main recommendations and protocols in the management of different urological emergencies during the COVID-19 pandemic are reviewed and discussed.

Conclusions:

We are living a new condition with the COVID-19 pandemic, which obliges urologists to conform to the guidelines that appear on a daily basis formulated by multidisciplinary surgical groups to manage urological emergencies. Consequently, in this time of health crisis, we must adapt to the resources available, implementing all biosecurity measures to protect patients and all health personnel who are in charge of patient management.
