We report a rare case of complete avulsion of the proximal urethra from the bladder neck and a urethrovaginal fistula secondary to blunt pelvic injury in a girl. The management consisted of a relatively simple first stage procedure, suprapubic cystostomy, followed 6 months later by transpubic repair of the defect. The child is continent and free of urethral obstruction 10 months postoperatively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
