Summary

Anterior urethral injuries require prompt treatment. Penetrating trauma or penile fracture necessitate primary repair, while deceleration injuries benefit from initial diversion and delayed reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Anterior urethral injuries are uncommon but can lead to significant long-term complications.
  • Understanding injury mechanisms is crucial for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline optimal treatment strategies for anterior urethral injuries based on their etiology.
  • To differentiate management approaches for traumatic versus deceleration-induced injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of treatment protocols for anterior urethral injuries.
  • Categorization of injuries based on mechanism: penetrating trauma, penile fracture, and rapid deceleration.

Main Results:

  • Primary two-layer repair is recommended for injuries from penetrating trauma or penile fracture.
  • Suprapubic diversion and delayed reconstruction are preferred for deceleration injuries due to associated trauma.

Conclusions:

  • Timely and mechanism-specific treatment of anterior urethral injuries can mitigate long-term morbidity.
  • Surgical approach should be tailored to the specific cause of urethral injury.
