Urogenital trauma (trauma to the kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate, urethra, penis, scrotum, and/or perineum) is not uncommon and remains a challenge to urologists and trauma surgeons. Urogenital trauma can be due to blunt or penetrating external trauma, but can be iatrogenic in origin as well. Accurate, immediate, and early management is essential to prevent further complications. Definitive urogenital reconstruction is important to restore the functions and cosmetics of the urogenital system.

In recent years, a trend towards a more conservative management of urogenital trauma has been observed. With regard to reconstruction, increasing attention has been given to reduce the surgical trauma of the intervention. Furthermore, novel techniques with or without tissue reconstruction and transfer are emerging in the field of urogenital reconstruction. Urologists and trauma surgeons must be aware of these changes and must have knowledge of the outcome of these novel techniques.

In this special issue, we encourage the submission of original research and review articles in the field of urogenital trauma and reconstruction. Especially welcome are submissions with special attention to advances in diagnostic and therapeutic strategy and changes in technique.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of urogenital trauma
• Urogenital reconstruction after external trauma and after iatrogenic trauma, for congenital or acquired diseases
• Novel treatments of urogenital trauma
• Different modalities of urogenital reconstruction
• Description of surgical technique(s) in urogenital reconstruction
