Case report: traumatic loss of the entire urethra and bladder neck in a girl--reconstruction by modified Flocks bladder tube.
Complete loss of the urethra and bladder neck secondary to pelvic fracture in a female patient is rare. We report a case of pelvic fracture resulting from a traffic collision leading to complete loss of the urethra including the bladder neck in an adolescent girl. A new urethra was reconstructed from a modified Flocks bladder tube and wrapped with omentum. At 2 years follow-up, the patient is fully continent and voiding satisfactorily. The problems of female urethral reconstruction are discussed.
