There is a lack of clear evidence and guidelines on how to reverse anticoagulation prior to emergency and elective urological procedures. Our aim was to produce local hospital guidelines based on current evidence to simplify the perioperative process of stopping traditional and novel oral anticoagulants and antiplatelet therapy.
