Abstract
Traumatic injuries with disruption of the posterior urethra frequently occur in patients who sustain pelvic fracture. Several endoscopic and open reconstructive techniques have been proposed for management of such urethral injuries. Treatment objectives include restoration of physiological urethral voiding with preservation of urinary continence and sexual function. This article summarizes the current recommendations for evaluation and treatment of patients with traumatic posterior urethral injuries. The various reconstructive techniques are reviewed and selection criteria and clinical outcomes are evaluated.
