Emergency management of urologic trauma.
Emergency management of urologic trauma can be expeditiously transected by reliance upon radiographic information and awareness of emergency priorities. Attention can be confidently focused on the area of maximal injury (upper versus lower urinary tract), and definitive or temporizing measures instituted according to circumstances. Although specialty management is ultimately required, diagnostic and therapeutic efforts initiated by emergency personnel are important to efficient appraisal and disposition.
