title: A case study of a new technique for the primary percutaneous endoscopic realignment of a complete urethral injury.
abstract: The male urethra is vulnerable to injury with multisystem trauma, especially those that include pelvic fractures. Controversy exists regarding the optimal time to repair urethral injuries and different modalities exist for the treatment. We report the first documented case of percutaneous endoscopic realignment of a urethra using a previous cystostomy site that has been dilated using a balloon dilator.
