title: Anterior urethral injuries: four years of experience at the Detroit General Hospital.
abstract: Among 19 patients with trauma of the anterior urethra 16 were treated by urinary diversion without primary repair of the injured area. Of these patients 15 recovered with excellent results. Since most traumatic injuries to the anterior urethra are partial disruptions we believe that urinary diversion may be the only treatment needed.
