The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is unlike anything seen before by modern science-based medicine. Health systems across the world are struggling to manage it. Added to this struggle are the effects of social confinement and isolation. This brings into question whether the latest guidelines are relevant in this crisis. We aim to support urologists in this difficult situation by providing tools that can facilitate decision making, and to minimise the impact and risks for both patients and health professionals delivering urological care, whenever possible. We hope that the revised recommendations will assist urologist surgeons across the globe to guide the management of urological conditions during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行是现代基于科学的医学前所未见的。世界各地的卫生系统都在努力应对。除了这场斗争之外,还有社会禁闭和隔离的影响。这使得最新的指南在这场危机中是否相关成为一个问题。我们旨在通过提供有助于决策的工具来支持泌尿科医生应对这种困难情况,并在可能的情况下尽量减少对接受泌尿科护理的患者和卫生专业人员的影响和风险。我们希望修订后的建议将帮助全球泌尿科医生指导在当前 COVID-19 大流行期间对泌尿科疾病的管理。
