Q

what are the indications for immediate repair in bladder trauma?

A

Intraperitoneal injury, penetrating injury, inadequate drainage or clots in urine, bladder neck, rectal or vaginal inury, open pelvic fracture, bone fragments

17
Q

what are the causes of urethral trauma?

A

o Blunt – blow to bulbar segment = straddling an object
o Penetrating – gunshot, stab wounds
o Iatrogenic – catheterisation

18
Q

what are the clinical features of urethral trauma?

A

blood at meatus, inability to urinate, palpably full bladder, high-riding prostate, butterfly perineal haematoma

19
Q

how is urethral trauma diagnosed?

A

retrograde urethrogram

20
Q

what is the management of urethral trauma?

A

suprapubic catheter, delayed reconstruction after 3 months

21
Q

what are the causes of penile fracture?

A

vaginal intercourse, aggressive masturbation

22
Q

what is the pathophysiology of penile fractures?

A

Tunica albuginea layer is violated – tear in this larger leads to extrusion of the seminiferous tubules and allows an intra-testicular haemorrhage to escape into the tunica vaginalis

23
Q

what are the clinical features of penile fractures?

A

cracking or popping sound, pain, rapid detumescence, discolouration and swelling

24
Q

what is the management of penile fracture?

A

prompt exploration and repair, circumcision incision with degloving of penis to expose 3 compartments

25
Q

what are the causes of testicular trauma?

A

o Blunt – sports
o Penetrating – gunshit/knife injury
o Degloving – machinery

26
Q

what is the pathophysiology of testicular injury?

A

Tunica albuginea layer is violated – tear in this larger leads to extrusion of the seminiferous tubules and allows an intratesticular haemorrhage to escape into the tunica vaginalis

27
Q

what are the clinical features of testicular trauma?

A

pain, nausea

28
Q

how is testicular trauma investigated?

A

US

29
Q

what is the management of testicular injury?

A

early exploration/repair improves testis, salvage, reduces convalescence, better preserves fertility and hormonal function
