Abstract
Considering the multiple controversies and the shadow areas that cover the management of urethral injuries, given the confusing grading systems, the low level of evidence of most of the publications, and the complexity and multiplicity of the described surgical approaches, a summary of the salient points of the guidelines will be of great help in order to cement the learning process of this pathological entity. In this chapter, an effort was made to combine and harmonize the recommendations enacted by various international expert panels, namely the European Association of Urology (EAU) [1], the American Urological Association (AUA) [2], the joint “Société Internationale d’Urologie-International Consultation on Urological Diseases” (SIU-ICUD) [3, 4], the World Society of Emergency Surgery and the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (WSES-AAST) [5], the Urological Society of India (USI) [6], and WHO consensuses [7].
