Perineal repair of pelvic fracture urethral injury: in pursuit of a successful outcome

Abstract: Objective To determine perioperative factors that may optimize the outcome after delayed perineal repair of a pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI). Patients and Methods In all, 86 consecutive patients who underwent perineal repair of a PFUI between 2004 and 2011 were prospectively enrolled in this study. The mean (range) patient age was 23 (5–50) years. The mean (range) follow‐up was 5.5 (2–8) years. We examined seven perioperative variables that might influence the outcome including: prior failed treatment,… Show more

“…70 If patients have symptoms of obstructive voiding or show a decreased urinary flow rate, urethrography along with cystoscope is carried out to assess recurrent stenosis. Although delayed urethroplasty carried out by an expert surgeon has a high success rate (nearly 90%) and low complication rate, 6,7,[71][72][73][74][75][76][77] recurrent stenosis can be encountered either shortly after removal of the urethral catheter (usually <48 h after surgery) or several months or years after surgery. 78,79 Early recurrent stenosis is more common, and patients present with an inability to void that is caused by ischemia due either to severe vascular damage at the initial injury, to tension at the anastomosis because of inadequate bulbar urethral mobilization or to inadequate excision of scar tissue, which usually require salvage urethroplasty.…”

“…PFUIs can cause urinary outflow obstruction, extravasation and secondary sepsis in the acute setting, and can also result in significant morbidity, such as urethral stenosis, ED and urinary incontinence, which can be associated with lifelong disability . Because most patients with PFUIs are young, inappropriate treatment and/or delay in management not only leads to low QOL, but can also negatively influence social productivity . Early identification and appropriate management are therefore of utmost importance in preventing significant long‐term morbidity and providing better QOL outcome.…”

“…Proper repair of these pelvic fracture urethral injuries (PFUI) is an art that requires exquisite attention to technique and tissue handling. Koraitim and Kamel recently reported their single‐surgeon series of PFUI repairs on 86 patients, with the specific aim of characterizing risk factors for treatment failure. Success was defined subjectively as absence of urinary symptoms and normal postoperative urethrography.…”
