Article Synopsis
- Urologic emergencies are frequent and often complicated to manage, highlighting the need for effective training methods like simulation-based education (SBE).
- A study in Ethiopia surveyed surgical consultants and residents about their training needs, collecting responses primarily through online platforms, and found strong support for SBE in managing urological emergencies.
- The results indicated a high interest among trainees for a dedicated SBE course, with many participants emphasizing specific topics like acute urinary retention and urologic trauma as critical areas for training.

The underlying causes of anterior urethral stricture relate to urethral fibrosis from sexually transmitted infection, with posterior urethral disruption secondary to pelvic trauma being an equally common cause of USD in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Anterior urethral strictures are often long, and multifocal, and bulbo-prostatic disruptions are usually due to relatively low-velocity pelvic trauma.
