Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Traumatic urethral injuries require timely and effective treatment.
  • Various surgical and endoscopic techniques exist for managing these injuries.
  • Evaluating novel approaches is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of early fluoroscopic realignment for traumatic urethral injuries.
  • To determine the success rate and complications associated with this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of seven patients with urethral rupture (2 anterior, 5 posterior) underwent early fluoroscopic realignment.
  • Patient follow-up ranged from 1 to 35 months.

Main Results:

  • Six out of seven patients achieved successful realignment and catheter placement.
  • Two patients required no further intervention post-catheter removal.
  • Three patients needed additional procedures after catheter removal.
  • One patient experienced unsuccessful realignment, necessitating open urethroplasty.

Conclusions:

  • Early fluoroscopic realignment is a safe and effective treatment option for severe traumatic urethral injuries.
  • The procedure demonstrates a high success rate, with most patients benefiting from early intervention.
