ABSTRACT
Recently we experienced 10 cases of posterior urethral injury associated with pelvic fracture. Of these patients 5 underwent primary realignment with perineal traction on the prostate (Selikowitz method), and the other 5 underwent immediate cystostomy and delayed urethroplasty (Johanson method). Comparison of the post-operative complications didn`t appear to show significant differences in the 2 groups, although the numbers were small. But patients who performed immediate cystostomy and delayed urethroplasty showed some disadvantages of the long period of treatment, high charges, often multiple hard procedures and the long time of operation. Therefore in the initial management of posterior urethral injury, we think it better to take primary realignment in Korean socioeconomic circumstances, if the patient is not in the high risk.
