Urethral trauma. Part I: introduction, history, anatomy, pathology, assessment and emergency management

Nonetheless, there have been a large number of cohort studies, generally of small numbers of patients. This review pulls together all of the information available to try and produce a coherent narrative.

“…Because these are crush injuries they are best managed by SPC to prevent extravasation [1,15,16]. The urge to explore the perineum should be resisted unless there is a more than usually large haematoma, or a penetrating wound, or if urinary extravasation has occurred in which case the wound needs to be drained.…”

“…10,11 Except in cases of clearly superficial tangential injuries, a retrograde urethrogram (ordered during initial assessment by the ED physician) or direct cystoscopy (performed by the urologist during surgical exploration in the operating room) is routinely recommended for all penetrating penile injuries to evaluate for possible urethral injury. Both imaging modalities are recommended in urological trauma guidelines.…”
