[The pelvis and urinary organs from the surgical and urologic viewpoint].

Our joint urological and surgical statements demonstrate that in cases of injuries of the pelvic ring and urinary organs there are numerous measures which guarantee adequate primary treatment. They also make it possible to postpone final and definitive treatment. On the other hand predictable as well as unpredictable complication may prevent timely reconstructive operations and may thus impair the final outcome. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of the fact that the treatment of a polytraumatized patient should be planned by the surgeon who is most experienced in traumatology.
