title: [Late consequences of urethral injuries. Reconstruction options].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Stricture excision and posterior urethroplasty is the most common procedure after posttraumatic urethral strictures.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Re-strictures and fistulas are treated by repeat urethroplasty. Tension-free anastomosis is prerequisite for surgical success. Urinary incontinence after posttraumatic injuries is treated by an artificial urinary sphincter.
