Summary

Background and Importance
Urinary tract injury, affecting the ureter, urethra, bladder, and related structures, is a significant clinical problem that can lead to dysuria, hydronephrosis, renal failure, and other severe complications. These injuries not only impair patients' quality of life but can also be life-threatening. Current research on urinary tract injuries is limited, and many clinicians worldwide lack sufficient understanding of their etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Given the potential severity and clinical impact, urinary tract injuries represent an underexplored but highly important area for systematic investigation.


Aim and Scope of the Special Issue
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for high-quality research and reviews that address urinary tract injuries with a focus on clinical relevance. It seeks to integrate insights into etiology, prevention, diagnosis, management, and follow-up strategies, highlighting translational and practical approaches that can inform clinical practice. By consolidating clinical experience and emerging research, the Special Issue intends to guide precise prevention, improve treatment outcomes, and optimize patient care.


Suggested Themes
-Etiology and risk factors of urinary tract injuries
-Diagnosis and imaging advances
-Surgical and minimally invasive management strategies
-Non-surgical treatment and conservative care
-Complications, prevention, and follow-up
-Translational research with clinical implications
-Clinical outcomes and treatment effectiveness

    Abstract Objectives: Current surgical interventions for pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) are constrained by multiple limitations. This study aimed to introduce the prior exposure maneuvers urethroplasty (PEM-U) in complex posterior anastomotic urethroplasty for PFUI. Methods: From February 2018 to March 2023 at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, 78 patients with complex PFUI underwent transperineal anastomotic urethroplasty, 39 patients of whom underwent classic Webster urethral urethroplasty in which bodies splitting or an inferior pubectomy after transection of bulbar urethra (Group A), and the other 39 patients underwent improved urethral urethroplasty (Group B), in which using PEM-U (corporeal bodies… More >
