Abstract:
Pelvic fracture urethral injuries (PFUI) are devastating lesions that lead to fibrosis and urethral disruption, which result in recurrent strictures, urinary incontinence, fistulae, and even erectile dysfunction, representing a management problem for the urologist. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be a valuable tool in establishing or confirming the diagnosis by providing detailed anatomy and estimating disease extent. We present a comprehensive review of the current literature on the role of MRI on diagnostic evaluation and surgical management of patients with PFUI.
