    Author: Ramos-Fernandez MR, Medero-Colon R, Mendez-Carreno L.
    Journal: Emerg Med Clin North Am; 2013 Feb; 31(1):237-60. PubMed ID: 23200334.
    Abstract:
    The evaluation and management of genitourinary emergencies is a fundamental component of the training and practice of emergency physicians. Urologic procedures are common in the emergency room. Emergency physicians play a vital role in the initial evaluation and treatment because delays in management can lead to permanent damage. This article discusses the most common urologic procedures in which emergency physicians must be proficient for rapid intervention to preserve function and avoid complications. An overview of each procedure is discussed as well as indications, contraindications, equipment, technique, and potential complications.
