Abstract

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the patients admitted to the Emergency Department with urogenital system trauma and the factors affecting morbidity and mortality. METHODS In this prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study, the demographic characteristics, trauma types, laboratory and radiologic results, hospitalization states, and the outcomes of patients with urogenital trauma were investigated. A total of 153 patients [108 (70.6%) male; 45 (29,4%) female] with major trauma were included in this study. RESULTS Twenty-three (15.03%) had penetrating trauma and 130 (84.96%) blunt trauma. Seventy-nine presented with motor vehicle accidents, 42 with falls, 10 with gunshot wounds, and 10 with stab wounds. There were pelvic fractures in 60 patients, renal injuries in 35 patients, and bladder injuries in 4 patients. Twenty-one of the patients underwent surgery for any reason and 17 patients died. There was a significant relationship between hematuria and renal injury. CONCLUSION Urogenital injuries are frequently seen with other system injuries, and deaths generally occur due to the other system injuries. The timely identification and management of genitourinary injuries with an in-depth clinical evaluation are important for preventing deaths due to urogenital region trauma.

Özet

AMAÇ Bu çalışmada, ürogenital bölgeyle ilişkili travma nedeniyle acil servise başvuran hastaların özellikleri, morbidite ve mortalite ile ilişkili durumların belirlenmesi amaçlandı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Bu prospektif, kesitsel tanımlayıcı çalışmada, ürogenital bölgeyle ilişkili travması olan hastaların demografik özellikleri, travma şekilleri, inceleme sonuçları, yatış işlemleri ve sonuçları değerlendirildi. Çalışmaya toplam 153 majör travması olan hasta [108 erkek (%70,6); 45 (%29,4) kadın] alındı. BULGULAR Olguların 23’ü (%15,03) penetran, 130’u (%84,96) künt travmalı idi. Oluş nedeni hastaların 79’unda trafik kazası, 42’sinde yüksekten düşme, 12’sinde ateşli silah yaralanması ve 10’unda delici-kesici alet yaralanması idi. Hastaların 60’ında pelvis kırığı, 35’inde böbrek, 4’ünde mesane yaralanması saptandı. Hastaların 21’i herhangi bir nedenle ameliyat edildi. Hastaların 17’si öldü. Hematüri varlığı ile böbrek yaralanması arasında anlamlı ilişki saptandı. SONUÇ Ürogenital yaralanmalar sıklıkla diğer organ yaralanmalarıyla birliktedir ve kaybedilen hastaların ölüm nedenleri genellikle diğer organ yaralanmalarına bağlıdır. Ayrıntılı klinik değerlendirme ile zamanında tanı konulup girişimde bulunulması ürogenital bölge yaralanmalarına bağlı ölüm olaylarını önlemede önemlidir.
