Abstract :We wanted to conduct a review of the problems faced by urology residents during the COVID-19 pandemic and to present and emphasize recommendations to these problems. The databases search was performed with the keywords \`COVID-19\`, \`SARS-Cov-2\`, \`Urology\`, \`Residency\`, and \`Training\` on PubMed by three experienced urologists. Screening, eligibility, and inclusion criteria were identified for use within the PRISMA protocol. 42 reports insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(70 %); which met the inclusion criteria were included in this review. The types of these reports were: 8 editorial papers, 5 letters, 4 reviews, and 2 comments. 23 of the 42 reports are original articles. Almost all original articles were survey studies and focused on COVID-19\`s impact on the mental health, and educational programs of urology residents. Urology residents should be ready and start using more of the virtual educational methods, and urology residency program directors should give more importance to new teaching modes instead of traditional methods because of the unknown start time, and unknown conditions, of the post-pandemic period.
