Abstract: In recent years,with the continuous innovation of modern war mode,weapons and protective equipment,the mechanism and mode of war trauma have also produced great changes.The widespread use of bulletproof vest and improvised explosive devices has led to increasing incidence of genitourinary trauma.The pattern of genitourinary trauma has also transformed from internal structures(kidney,ureters,bladder)to external structures(scrotum,testes,penis,urethra),suggesting that the research focus of genitourinary system war trauma should be gradually transformed to trauma research of lower urinary tract and external genitalia.This article reviews the incidence,treatment and prognosis of genitourinary trauma in several modern wars,and mainly describes the relevant conditions of lower urinary tract and external genitalia trauma and the relevant progress in the treatment in recent years.
