Background:
In severely injured patients, urologic trauma is diagnosed in about 10 % of patients. Renal trauma is most common, while ureteral trauma is in the majority of cases iatrogenic. These two urologic injuries influence the clinical course, morbidity, and mortality. Thus, rapid identification, sufficient diagnostic workup, and adequate therapy of renal and ureteral injuries are essential.
Theme:
This article reviews the actual diagnostic procedures, classification, and stage-dependent therapy options in renal and ureteral injuries.
