  • Title: Result of suprapubic cystostomy only as primary management of posterior urethral rupture following pelvic fracture.
    Author: Singh PB, Karmakar D, Gupta RC, Dwivedi US, Tripathi VN.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1988; 73(1):59-62. PubMed ID: 3360581.
    Abstract:
    Forty-five patients with posterior urethral injury following pelvic fractures were managed by suprapubic cystostomy alone as primary management. Simultaneous voiding cystourethrogram with retrograde urethrogram six weeks later revealed non-obliterative stricture in eight and total block in 36. Impotence was seen in 20 patients. Eight patients with non-obliterative stricture responded to optical internal urethrotomy. Out of 36 total block, 30 had long strictures in the posterior urethra and required transpubic urethroplasty. Impotence was not affected by transpubic urethroplasty.
