title: [Treatment of traumatic rupture of the urethra. Apropos of 30 patients].
abstract: Thirty patients with traumatic rupture of the urethra were treated in the Urology Department of Cochin Hospital between 1975 and 1985: 11 as an emergency procedure, 7 for an early complication and 12 for a late complication. In the patients treated early, urethrorrhaphy or one-stage urethroplasty gave the best results. Two stage urethroplasty constituted best treatment for patients with a complication of earlier treatment. In patients with late complications, endoscopic urethrotomy is rarely sufficient on its own and two-stage urethroplasty is generally indicated.
