[Isolated urethral injury following coital faux pas. Report of a case with no associated injury of the corpora cavernosa].

An urethral lesion due to coital faux pas is usually associated with a lesion of the corpora cavernosa, but may occasionally be isolated. Suspected clinically due to the presence of urethral bleeding, the diagnosis of ruptured urethra is based on urethrography and, more importantly, urethroscopy, which appears to be more reliable for defining the complete or partial nature and the site of the rupture. Even in incomplete forms, surgical suture of the lesion appears to give better results than urinary diversion alone.
