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.

Strangulation of the penis by a ring is a rare but quite common event in children and is potentially serious. We found it important to report this case in order to share our experience on the management of penis rings. It was a 9-year-old child, with no particular medical-surgical history, nor any notion of known family defect, brought to the emergency room by his parents for intense pain in the penis associated with incessant crying. In front of which a clinical examination made it possible to conclude with penile strangulation by a metal ring. Our course of action was the ablation of the ring with non-medical forceps associated with local and general care. No complications were observed during treatment. The immediate consequences were simple and the patient was followed for 4 months.
