title: An update on urotrauma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The subject of genitourinary trauma was recently reviewed as an American Urologic Association guideline as well as recently updated as a European Association of Urology guideline. These guidelines, while complete and authoritative, deserve review, amplification and clarification. Also, notably absent from the guidelines is a section on the management of renovascular injuries, which will be reviewed here.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the 2014, the American Urologic Association and updated European Association of Urology guidelines were published with highlighted features or changes described here.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We report the updated features of the guidelines as well as sections of update from our own experiences in which the guidelines remain vague or are absent.
