Pubectomy for repair of membranous urethral strictures.
We treated 7 patients with membranous urethral strictures secondary to fractures of the pelvis with pubectomy and termino-terminal anastomosis of the urethra. All patients are free of catheters and urinary tract infection. The surgical technique provided good exposure of the membranous urethra because the incision of the pubis was wide. None of the patients has had orthopedic problems secondary to the operation. Postoperative sexual function has been good.
