Riassunto

La gestione diagnostica e terapeutica dei traumi dell’uretra risulta ancora controversa, per motivi che possono essere ricondotti a [1]:

  • relativa rarità delle lesioni;

  • varietà e complessità dei quadri traumatici;

  • presenza di lesioni traumatiche associate a carico degli organi adiacenti;

  • limitata esperienza diagnostica dei radiologi e degli urologi;

  • mancanza di chiare linee guida diagnostiche e terapeutiche.
