Consensus statement on bladder injuries

The consensus on genitourinary trauma continues this month with the statement on bladder trauma from several internationally recognised experts on the subject. They describe blunt, penetrating and iatrogenic injuries and their management, considering paediatric injuries separately. They underline the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment, stressing that problems raised when the diagnosis is delayed.
