title: Anterior urethral injuries: secondary reconstruction.
abstract: Secondary reconstruction of anterior urethral injuries should be delayed for 6 to 12 weeks after injury. Traumatic strictures of the urethra are repaired by application of full-thickness skin grafts by either incision of the stricture and patch graft or by excision of the urethra and tube graft, depending on the density of the urethral scar or defect.
