  • Title: Delayed primary realignment of posterior urethral rupture.
    Author: Shittu OB, Okeke LI, Kamara TB, Adebayo SA.
    Journal: West Afr J Med; 2003 Jun; 22(2):133-5. PubMed ID: 14529221.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of acute posterior urethral rupture is controversial. Twelve patients who presented with acute posterior urethral rupture over a five-year period were treated by delayed primary realignment of the injury. The technique of this procedure and the outcome are the subject of this presentation. Eight patients had successful realignment without strictures. Two patients with strictures responded to simple dilatations with bougies and the other two had formal urethroplasty.
