Abstract		Rarely, upper and lower urinary tract trauma is presented solely or directly to the urologist. In our country, even genital trauma is often first presented to the trauma surgeon. Controversies and dilemmas about proper initial investigation and treatment on admission to the emergency unit lead to review of the current concepts of initial imaging and management, which the trauma surgeon and urologist should follow to avoid malpractice and late complications. The urologist's perspective should be to optimize imaging to save time and get as much information as possible when emergency treatment is needed. The European and American policy of treatment, the expectations of the clinician, and treatment outcome are discussed in this article.
