Abstract

Medical experts are responsible for evaluation of the urinary and sexual sequelae following traumatic rupture of the posterior urethra. Only definite and direct damage is compensated by the courts, which demands a methodical and meticulous examination by the expert. Sexual damage can be evaluated by certain criteria including the results of intracavernous injections.
