ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: Our aim was to present the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of urological emergencies in a regional hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective study over a period of 6 months (April 2021 to September 2021) collecting all the emergencies received by the on-call urology team at the Nianankoro Fomba Hospital in Segou. This team was led by a DES in urology under the supervision of a urological surgeon. We were interested in age, sex of patients, diagnosis, number of patients hospitalised and type of surgery performed in emergency. RESULTS: We registered 72 patients. The mean age of our patients was 58.8 years with extremes of 6 and 90 years. Acute bladder retention was represented in 61% and total haematuria in 24%. Renal colic was reported in 8%. Acute prostatitis was reported in 4% of cases, and acute pyelonephritis in 1%. Urogenital trauma accounted for 6%. CONCLUSION: Although underestimated, in our context, the management of urological emergencies remains a regular activity of the urology department in view of the number of patients managed. Bladder drainage remains the most frequent procedure.
