A new technique for the management of urethral injuries.
A new technique for the management of urethral trauma is described. Initial suprapubic catheterisation is followed by endoscopic assessment after approximately 2 weeks. Realignment over a splinting catheter may then be achieved by instrumentation and endoscopy via both suprapubic and urethral routes. The development of the technique and the early results of a small series of patients are presented.
