Lower urinary tract trauma
View through CrossRef
Lower urinary tract trauma is common. Indeed, iatrogenic lower urinary tract trauma is the commonest type of urological injury. External trauma is much less common but potentially life-threatening, if only because of the force needed to cause it. This chapter describes the incidence, aetiology, pathology, clinical features, and management of both types of injury and draws attention to the controversies in management of the most serious of these injuries which remain controversial after nearly 100 years of debate. Despite the controversies, the three fundamental principles of treatment remain unchallenged: to provide urinary drainage to prevent or relieve urinary retention; to prevent or treat urinary extravasation; and to provide the best possible conditions for recovery of the injury.
