title: A transpubic approach for reconstructive surgery of genitourinary injuries and congenital malformations.
abstract: Four children were operated on by the transpubic approach for injury to the vagina or urethra and to correct malformations within the pelvis minor. One boy had posttraumatic stricture of the urethra, and a girl presented with disruption of the urethra and vagina. One of two boys who had congenital malformations was treated for epispadias and incontinence; the other for a large urethral diverticulum caused by anal atresia. Total reconstruction was achieved, and no complications of symphysis restoration were observed.
