Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Urology
  • Pelvic fracture management

Context:

  • Pelvic fractures frequently cause urological complications, including bladder rupture and posterior urethral injury.
  • Erectile dysfunction is a significant long-term consequence of posterior urethral injury.

Purpose:

  • To present a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm for managing injury of the posterior urethra (IPU) in patients with pelvic fractures.
  • To analyze the outcomes of different treatment strategies for IPU and associated urological injuries.

Summary:

  • A total of 19 patients with severe urological complications from pelvic fractures were treated, with 11 cases of IPU.
  • Treatment involved primary realignment, epicystostomy, or delayed urethroplasty depending on injury severity and dislocation.

  • Severe erectile dysfunction occurred in 6 of 10 IPU patients, predominantly with urethral dislocations.

    • Impact:

    • Establishes essential diagnostic steps for suspected IPU, including urethrography and IVU, emphasizing avoidance of catheterization before examination.
    • Recommends immediate needle epicystostomy for suspected IPU and primary urethral realignment for major injuries.
    • Defines a clear timeline for delayed posterior resection urethroplasty for distraction defects after 12 weeks.
