Urological trauma is rare but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality if missed or not managed appropriately. The careful assessment and involvement of specialist investigations and treatments are paramount to a good patient outcome. This article is aimed at the non-urologist to highlight the potential pitfalls and the importance of clinical suspicion. It should be used as a guide, but should not negate the involvement of a urologist early on in the investigation and management of trauma patients.

Key Words: trauma • renal • ureteric • bladder • management
