Urological Trauma

Urology

Trauma:

1. Given a patient with a potential urinary tract injury:

1. To list and interpret key clinical findings

2. To list and interpret critical investigations

3. Construct an initial management plan

4. To list and specify previous genitourinary anomaly.

Systems:

?

Renal

?

Bladder

?

Urethra

?

Ureter

?

External Genitalia


Renal Trauma Overview

? Most commonly injured GU organ
? 10% of all serious injuries abdominal have

associated renal injury

? Mode of injury

? Blunt renal truma

? MVA, fall from height, assaults

? Penetrating renal injuries

? Gunshots and stab wounds.

Hematuria and Renal Injury

? Best indicator of significant injury(microscopic

or gross)

? NOT related to the degree of injury
? Gross Hematuria is Variable and absent in :

? 7 % of grade IV renal injury
? 36% of renal vascular injury
? 50% of UPJ injuries
Whom to work up

? Penetrating trauma: EVERYONE
? Pediatric patients with microscopic hematuria.
? Blunt trauma: Image with CT if:

? gross hematuria
? microhematuria plus shock
? microhematuria plus acceleration/deceleration

Mee et al. (1989)

Hardeman et al (1987

Imaging of trauma patient with

hematuria

? CT preferred

? With contrast

? With "delayed" films (mandatory)

? Why not get CT cystogram too?

? Standard intravenous pyelogram (IVP): Forget

it

? "One Shot" intraoperative IVP

? 2 cc/kg intravenous contrast

? Single film at 10 minutes


Intraoperative One Shot IVP

? Allows safe

avoidance of renal

exploration in 32%

(Morey et al, 1999)

? Highly specific for

urinary

extravasation

? Confirms existence

of the other kidney

AAST Organ Injury Severity Scale for

the Kidney


AAST Organ Injury Severity Scale for

the Kidney

Indications for renal trauma surgery

? Absolute

? Hemodynamic instablity with shock

? Expanding /pulsatile renal hematoma

? Suspected renal pedicle avulsion (grade V)

? UPJ disruption

? Relative (now rare)

? Urinary extravasation with non viable tissue

? Renal injury together with colon /pancreatic injury

? Delayed diagnosis of arterial injury
Indications for angiography with

embolisation

? Bleeding from renal segmental artery
? Unstable condition with grade II or IV
? AV fistula or pseudoaneurysm
? Persistent gross hematuria
? Blood loss extending 2 units in 24 hrs.

Management Options For Renal

Trauma

? Close observation

? Bed rest

? Serial Hemoglobins

? Antibiotics if urinary extravasation

? Radiographic Embolization

? Urinary Diversion

? Ureteral Stenting

? Nephrostomy Drainage

? Surgery

? Renal Preservation / Reconstruction

? Nephrectomy
Surgical considerations

? Midline transabdominal approach
? Early vascular control before opening gerotas

fascia

? Landmark is IMA or in presense of large

hematoma ,IMV.

Renal trauma in pediatric population

? Kidneys propotinally larger and less protected
? Less retroperitoneal and peritoneal fat
? Less musculature
? Higher sympathetic tone ie hypotention less

reliable predictor of severity of renal injury.


Follow up

? Repeat CECT within 72 hrs
? Once pt is off hematuria and ambulatory

,discharged

? Adviced to avoid strenous activity for 4-6

weeks

? Follow up in opd after 3 weeks with USG and

Hgm.

Bladder Trauma
Bladder: BLUNT: Overview

? Rarely isolated
? 80 -90 % have severe associated injuries
? Often high-energy injuries
? Associated with urethral rupture 10-29% and

pelvic fracture 6-10%

Bladder: PENETRATING: Overview

? Incidence 2%

? Associated major abdominal injuries (35%)

and shock (22%)

? Mortality high: 12%
Bladder: Diagnosis: Physical Signs

?

Suspicion: required in cases of penetrating trauma, based

on trajectory

?

Physical signs:

?

Abdominal pain

?

Abdominal tenderness

?

Abdominal bruising

?

Urethral catheter does not return urine(gross hematuria in

almost al cases)

?

Delayed?

?

Fever

?

No urine output

?

Peritoneal signs

?

BUN / Creatinine

Bladder: Diagnosis: Hematuria

? Most (95%) have gross hematuria

? Microhematuria does occur: usually with

minimal injury


Indications of imaging

? Absolute

? Gross hematuria with pelvic fracture(30 % with

bladder rupture)

? Penetrating injury of lower abdomen with any

degree of hematuria

? Relative

? Gross hematuria without pelvic fracture
? Microscopic hematuria with pelvic fracture

Bladder: Diagnosis Plain Cystography

? Nearly 100% accurate

when done properly:

? Adequate filling with

350 cc

? Drainage films

? Use 30% contrast

? Underfilling (250 cc)

associated with false

negatives




Bladder: Diagnosis CT Cystography

? Preferred, especially if already getting other

CTs

? Antegrade filling by "clamping the Foley" is

not OK!

? Must dilute contrast (6:1 with saline, or to

about 2-4%)

Bladder: Diagnosis CT Cystography

Extraperitoneal

Intraperitoneal
Management (extraperitoneal bladder

rupture)

? Uncomplicated cases: conservative

management with catheter drainage.

? Large bore (22 fr ) should be used.
? Catheter removal 2 weeks after cystogram
? Complications reported with conservative

management (12% vs 5% with open repair)

like fistula ,clot retntion and sepsis.

Management (intraperitoneal bladder

rupture)

? All penetrating and intraperitoneal injuries

should be managed with immediate open

repair.

? Catheter removal 1 week after cystogram.


Ureteral Injury

? No reliable Physical findings! Usually a

retrograde diagnosis

? Non specific symptoms

? Flank pain (36%-90%)
? Fever
? Ileus
? Abdominal distension
? fistula


Etiology

? External trauma

? High speed blunt injuries

? Penetrating trauma

? Surgical injury

? Gynecological

? Obstetric

? General surgery( colorectal sx)

? Urologic procedures

? Ureteroscopic injury


Diagnosis

? Presense of hematuria(non specific)
? Imaging

? IVU
? CT urogram
? RGP
? Antegrade ureterography

? Intraoperative recognisation


Hematuria and ureteral injury

? Nonspecific indicator

? 25 ? 45% patients donot demonstrate even

microscopic hematuria.

? Being suspicious for it is the only way you will

catch it.


Management



Posterior Urethral Injuries

Posterior Urethra Trauma: Etiology

? 4-14% of pelvic fractures

? Bilateral pubic rami fractures (straddle

fracture) and sacroiliac diasthasis

? Mostly males, but can happen in females

? Associated bladder rupture in 10-17%

? Rectal injury can lead to urethral-rectal fistula

in 8%
Posterior Urethra Trauma: Diagnosis

? Blood at meatus: 50%

? Inability to urinate

? Palpable full bladder

? Inability to place urethral catheter

? High riding prostate : 34%

? Rarely, perineal hematoma (late finding)

? Rarely females develop proximal urethral

injury

? Presents with vulvar edema and blood at

vaginal introitus


Retrograde Urethrogram

Management

? Immediate open reconstruction(curently no

role)

? Suprapubic cystostomy
? Primary realignment
? Delayed reconstruction

? Endoscopic treatment
? Surgical reconstruction


Anterior urethral injury

? Are often isolated
? Majority after stradle injury
? Involve bulbar urethra
? Presents with blood at meatus,perenial

hematoma,gross hematuria n urinary

retention


Complications

? Erectile dysfunction

? 50%
? Cavernosal nerve injury
? Arterial insufficiency
? Venous leak
? Direct corporal injury

? Recurent stenosis(5-15%)
? Incontinence after reconstruction <4%
