Indications for retrograde cystourethrography in trauma.

D T Uehara, R F Eisner

    Annals of Emergency Medicine
    |March 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Lower genitourinary tract injuries from trauma require prompt imaging. Retrograde urethrography and cystography are recommended for diagnosing urethral and bladder injuries in male patients with specific trauma indicators.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Lower genitourinary tract injuries can result from penetrating or severe blunt lower abdominal trauma.
    • Associated findings often include pelvic fractures, gross hematuria, or bloody urethral discharge.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and preventing complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline diagnostic imaging recommendations for lower genitourinary tract injuries.
    • To define specific clinical scenarios warranting retrograde urethrography and cystography in male patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic imaging protocols for lower genitourinary tract trauma.
    • Recommendation for retrograde cystourethrography in all penetrating trauma with suspected injury.
    • Specific criteria for retrograde urethrography in male patients with pelvic or perineal trauma.

    Main Results:

    • Retrograde cystourethrography is indicated for suspected lower genitourinary tract injuries in penetrating trauma.
    • Retrograde urethrography is recommended for males with pelvic fractures or significant trauma and specific symptoms (hematuria, discharge, voiding issues, swelling, prostate findings).
    • Cystography should be performed after urethrography if urethral injury is ruled out.

    Conclusions:

    • Timely and appropriate imaging is essential for managing lower genitourinary tract trauma.
    • Retrograde urethrography and cystography are key diagnostic tools in specific patient populations.
    • Adherence to recommended imaging protocols can improve patient outcomes.
