Abstract:
The genitourinary tract is frequently involved in various types of trauma to the chest, abdomen and pelvis. Genitourinary trauma is typically divided into upper tract trauma and lower tract trauma. Upper tract trauma involves injury to kidney and ureter while lower tract trauma typically involves bladder or urethral injury. This review will focus on current trends in the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of renal trauma.
