Abstract
- Trauma is the important cause of death in children and adults. From May 1, 1984 to June 30, 1995, 370 patients were admitted to our hospital for genitourinary injuries. We made clinical observations and compared children with adults on incidence, cause, diagnosis and treatment of genitourinary traumatic patients. As the result, it was no significant difference between children and adults on incidence, sex ratio, cause, hospital stay, and associated injuries. The kidney was the most common organ to be injured and there was no difference in severity of renal injury between two groups. Operative treatments were more common in adults than children, and external genitalia was most common organ to get operation.
