title: [Delayed emergency repair of traumatic ruptures of the posterior urethra].
abstract: The management of posterior urethral injuries is still a matter of controversies. Some authors recommend a primary or delayed emergency repair procedure, while others prefer late repair. The analysis of our series of fifteen cases showed that when patients are treated by delayed emergency operation, the results are usually good. However, when repair is performed later, results are less satisfactory, and the rate of impotence is higher. We conclude that delayed emergency repair operation is the procedure of choice in the management of ruptured posterior urethra.
