Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • Kidney and ureteral injury occur primarily from rapid deceleration or penetrating trauma. Unrecognized compromise of renal vascular supply can lead to necrosis.
  • Long-term consequences of renal and genitourinary (GU) injuries include hypertension, chronic kidney disease, erectile dysfunction, incontinence, and voiding issues, hydronephrosis, fistula, recurrent pyelonephritis, and nephrolithiasis.
  • Pelvic fractures are seen frequently in patients with bladder or urethral trauma and vice versa.
  • Nearly 25% of all bladder and urethral injuries associated with pelvic fracture are missed.
