Primary Urethral Realignment Versus Suprapubic Cystostomy After Pelvic Fracture Urethral Injury

United States200 participantsStarted 2016-01-01

Plain-language summary

Pelvic fracture urethral injuries (PFUI) occur in up to 10% of pelvic fractures. It remains controversial whether initial urethral realignment after PFUI decreases rates of urethral obstruction and the need for subsequent urethral procedures. The retrospective record review should determine the utility of acute urethral realignment after PFUI.
