Summary
Acute interlocking sound urethroplasty effectively treats posterior urethral rupture from pelvic fractures. Pericatheter urethrography confirms recovery, with most patients showing satisfactory long-term results after this intervention.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Trauma Surgery
Background:
- Posterior urethral rupture is a severe complication of pelvic fractures.
- Surgical intervention is often required to restore urethral continuity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of acute interlocking sound urethroplasty for posterior urethral rupture.
- To assess the role of pericatheter urethrography in monitoring urethral healing.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 21 cases treated with acute interlocking sound urethroplasty.
- Postoperative pericatheter urethrography to assess urethral healing.
- Long-term patient follow-up (1-9 years).
Main Results:
- Urethral recovery time ranged from 4 to 13 weeks, with 71% requiring over 8 weeks.
- 86% of patients achieved satisfactory outcomes during follow-up.
- Pericatheter urethrography accurately indicated urethral healing.
Conclusions:
- Acute interlocking sound urethroplasty is a successful treatment for posterior urethral rupture.
- Pericatheter urethrography is a reliable tool for monitoring recovery and guiding catheter removal.
