Building on the success of the first edition, this extensively revised and expanded second edition of Emergencies in Urology sets a new standard in the field. Edited by five internationally recognized experts, this authoritative textbook closes one of the last remaining gaps in urological literature: the systematic management of urgent and emergent clinical scenarios in urology.

This edition reflects major advances in diagnostics, surgical techniques, and perioperative management. It includes fully updated chapters on urological trauma, urosepsis, urinary obstruction, oncological emergencies, and intra- and postoperative complications—complemented by new chapters on iatrogenic pathology, undiversion, and contralateral renal autotransplantation. The book also incorporates current insights from reconstructive, pediatric, and transplant urology.

A hallmark of this work is the unique combination of didactic algorithms, rich illustrations by acclaimed medical artist Stephan Spitzer, and over 60 real-life case vignettes contributed by leading clinicians from around the world. These personal reports offer invaluable insight into the practical and often challenging decision-making required in emergency situations.

Emergencies in Urology is not just a clinical reference—it is an educational tool that bridges theory and practice, experience and innovation. It is essential reading for urologists, emergency physicians, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and all healthcare professionals involved in the acute care of urological patients.
