A prospective study on the incidence of postponed time-sensitive urological procedures during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic due to patient preference

ConclusionsThe incidence for patients postponing urological procedures due to the risk of acquiring nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 is 10%. Endourological procedures for urolithiasis are the most frequently postponed procedures by patients. This study demonstrates that a subset of patients will decline urgent urological surgery during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
