In the course of the Multicenter Study on Urological Traumatology ("UMCEST"), 61 patients who had been treated at the Departments of Urology of the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich and the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf were followed up. These included 39 patients with multiple trauma and 22 patients who had suffered isolated urological injuries. There were 45 patients with renal injuries, 7 with injuries to the bladder, and 11 who had presented with urethral injuries. Late complications were detected in 38% of the 45 patients with renal injuries. Of the 11 patients with urethral injuries, 6 suffered from urethral strictures, 9 from sexual dysfunction and 3 from incontinence. The 7 patients with bladder injuries had no late complications related to the bladder trauma.
