Abstract
Background:
Stricture excision and posterior urethroplasty is the most common procedure after posttraumatic urethral strictures.
Results:
Re-strictures and fistulas are treated by repeat urethroplasty. Tension-free anastomosis is prerequisite for surgical success. Urinary incontinence after posttraumatic injuries is treated by an artificial urinary sphincter.
Keywords:
Posttraumatic urethral injury; Re-strictures; Urethral sphincters, artificial; Urethroplasty; Urinary incontinence.
