Genital injuries are rare in comparison to other traumatologic injuries. Diagnostic and therapy demand a detailed urological knowledge and high abilities in the surgical and the microsurgical field. The emergency doctor/urologist, who firstly treats the patient, decides about the therapeutic outcome. Delays in the diagnostic procedures and false therapeutic indications may be followed by impairments in cosmetic and function of the genitale for the patient. Therefore, we demand an early consultation of an urologist.
