Emergencies in medicine are difficult on two fronts: they may challenge both the

health of the patient and the skills of the doctor in charge. If the latter, the former

may deteriorate rapidly. Thus, the definition of an emergency indeed depends on

who is facing it. As we mature along our clinical pathways of education, training, and

experience, the risk of going through a personal professional emergency is continuously

reduced. Nevertheless, throughout our medical career, accurate self-assessment

and subsequent control of our actions remain our most important qualities.

This is true especially for anybody who endeavors into a surgical field.

This book focuses on both kinds of emergencies. It works to facilitate anticipation

of potential situations, and therefore allow their competent management. This aim

has only become possible with the support of some of themost distinguished urologists

for this project. They contributed their rich experience not only in the classical

form of textbook chapters but also by narrating their personal Armageddons as

open-styled vignettes. These short stories are an impressive proof that persistent

awareness and education are essential elements of a successful professional life. They

also relay a golden rule to all of our readers, who still have the privilege to call somebody

if needed: if in doubt – just do it. The so-called four big Cs: climb, communicate,

confess, and comply are the basic actions for any pilot in distress and theymay

just be as applicable for any doctor facing a difficult situation thatmay exceed his experience

and abilities. Our pride must be to consistently achieve the same result: salus

aegroti suprema lex – only the best for our patients.
