title: [Preoperative evaluation in urology. A reassessment].
abstract: Routine preoperative screening tests are questioned more and more often. A prospective study of preoperative screening in a Urologic unit was performed and was correlated with the patient's outcome. With the agreement of the anesthesiologists team, we think we could abandon chest X ray, and CBC and could restrict ECG immuno-hematologic and clotting tests to patients with intraoperative hemorrhagic or cardiac risk. Finally any other tests, creatinine, SMA, urinalysis, urine culture should only be prescribed, according to the patient's specific clinical context.
