AB Most  patients  with  significant  genitourinary  injuries  require  prompt  urologic  consultation.  The  majority  of  these  patients  will  have  additional  injuries  within  the  chest,  abdomen,  or  pelvis,  which  will  also  mandate  immediate  surgical  evaluation.  It  is  extremely  rare  for  the  genitourinary  tract  to  be  injured  in  isolation.  Therefore,  the  initial  management  of  genitourinary  trauma  should  not  be  in  isolation  either.  General  trauma  management,  as  explained  in  other  chapters  in  this  book,  should  be  implemented  upon  arrival  in  order  to  identify  and  treat  all  life-threatening  injuries.
