In the present study, 34 pediatric patients who were hospitalized and maintained with urogenital trauma in our department last ten years, were reviewed, retrospectively. Six of them (17.6%) were girls and 28 (82.4%) were boys, and the mean age was 10.1 years (ranged between 2.5-17 years). The causes of injuries were traffic accident in 24 cases (70.6%), full from a height in 9 cases (26.4%) and gun-shot in one case (3%). Traumas involving the kidney, urethra, bladder and, testis were encountered in 13 (38.2%), 13 (38.2%), 4 (11.7%), 3 (8.8%) and 1 (2.9%), respectively. The mean duration of follow up was 11.2 months (6-12 months). The encountered complications were urethral stricture in 2 cases with urethral trauma and bladder neck stricture in 1 case with bladder trauma. In conclusion, the most common pediatric genito-urinary injuries we observed in this study, were blunt trauma resulted from traffic accidents and falls, and were more frequent in boys similar to the literature. The most common injured organs were kidney, urethra and bladder and the complications were rare. But the importance of follow up in pediatric patients should be kept in mind.
