| pubmed-article:9480638 | pubmed:abstractText | Eight cases of rupture of the posterior urethra were observed in children and treated via a trans-symphyseal approach. Repair was easy in the cases seen rapidly (2 to 10 days), urethral suture was effective and the result was excellent. On the other hand, in cases seen later (6 cases), between 6 months and 5 years, marked fibrous callus had to be resected. Urethral repair was not always possible (only one failure out of 6 late cases). This approach preserves genital functions. | lld:pubmed |
