Pelvic fracture and urogenital injuries

Abstract

Pelvic injuries occur in major crash accidents. Injury to the bladder and membranous urethra are the commonest associated urogenital injuries. More and more urethral injuries are being managed conservatively in the acute phase for fear of hemorrhage and infection, which may result in late sequel of urethral injuries. The definitive surgery can be delayed in favor of simple.
