Abstract

The world is currently in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rapid changes in medical priorities are being enforced across all health-care systems. Urologists have had to reduce or halt their clinical activity and assist on COVID-19 wards. The repercussions on urological patient outcomes for delayed treatments and diagnosis remain to be defined.
