Abstract
BACKGROUND: Urethral injuries are often caused by pelvic fractures or blunt trauma. Drainage of the urinary bladder is the first step of therapy.
RESULTS: Urethral injuries are often caused by pelvic fractures or blunt trauma. Drainage of the urinary bladder is the first step of therapy. Standard procedure is the insertion of a suprapubic stent in stable patients without concomitant open injuries in the pelvis area. Endoscopic realignment is useful in patients with pelvic fracture, vaginal, rectal, or bladder injury, who require open surgery. Delayed repair by stricture excision and open urethroplasty with end-to-end anastomosis is the standard procedure.
