[Treatment of posterior urethral break caused by pelvic fracture and inflammatory urethral stricture via laying three silicone tubers into urethra].
We investigated a new approach for the treatment of posterior urethral break caused by pelvic fracture and inflammatory urethral stricture. 7-10 days after the operation of urethral realignment on patients with urethral break caused by pelvic fracture or after forced dilatation of inflammatory urethral stricture, three silicone tubers were laid into urethra and kept there for three months. In 66 cases of urethral break, the cure rate (58/66) was 87.9%, the improving rate (2/66) 3.0% and the failure rate (6/66) 9.1%. In 15 cases of inflammatory urethral stricture, the recovery rate was 100%. In this group of 81 cases, the cure rate was 92.6% and failure rate was only 7.4%. This new therapeutic approach proved to be simple, safe and effective. It could also dramatically reduce the infection or the stricture of urethra.
