title: Posterior urethral stricture repair following trauma and pelvic fracture.
abstract: Posterior urethral injuries typically arise in the context of a pelvic fracture.The correct and appropriate initial treatment of associated urethral rupture is critical to the proper healing of the injury. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the literature with special emphasis on the various treatments available: open or endoscopic primary realignment, immediate or delayed urethroplasty after suprapubic cystostomy, and delayed optical urethrotomy.
