AB Approximately  10%  of  multiple  trauma  patients  are  diagnosed  with  genitourinary  injury,  most  commonly  in  the  setting  of  other  multiple  blunt  force  injuries.  Significant  injury  to  the  genitourinary  system  is  an  uncommon  cause  of  serious  morbidity  or  mortality.  A  number  of  genitourinary  injuries  are  not  immediately  apparent  and  are  rarely  responsible  for  significant  hemodynamic  compromise.  Initial  evaluation  of  the  trauma  patient  should  focus  on  stabilization  and  resuscitation,  prioritizing  hemodynamic  instability.  See  Chapter  22  for  the  approach  to  the  multiple  trauma  patients.
