  • Title: Primary realignment of posterior urethral injuries.
    Author: Patterson DE, Barrett DM, Myers RP, DeWeerd JH, Hall BB, Benson RC.
    Journal: J Urol; 1983 Mar; 129(3):513-6. PubMed ID: 6834534.
    Abstract:
    The records of 34 patients with posterior urethral disruptions secondary to blunt pelvic trauma who were treated with primary realignment were reviewed. Among the 29 evaluable patients there was a 38 per cent incidence of stricture (11 of 29), a 3 per cent incidence of incontinence (1 of 29) and a 15 per cent incidence of impotence (4 of 27). Primary realignment has a low morbidity and an acceptable rate of incontinence, impotence and stricture formation, and is recommended in the treatment of posterior urethral injuries.
