Abstract:
In urethral traumas are included pendulous, bulbar and prostatomembranous injuries generally associated with a pelvic fracture or a symphysis diastasis. Because of the possible sequelae concerning potency and urethral stricture of prostatomembranous disruptions in peculiar, treatment remains controversial. Authors present a retrospective series of 27 patients (26 males, 1 female) treated during these last 15 years to try to modify or redefine their strategy and to choose the harmless method of treatment by a multidisciplinary approach between the anaesthesiologist, the traumatologist and the urologist.
