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.
