Early endoscopic realignment of complete traumatic rupture of the posterior urethra.

Early primary endoscopic realignment of complete traumatic rupture of the posterior urethra is a simple, rapid and non-traumatic technique. We have recently treated 5 patients in this manner. All are continent and 4 are potent. Four patients were followed up for 1 year. One patient required no further management and had excellent urinary flow rates. The other 3 developed short secondary strictures which were managed successfully by 1 or 2 internal urethrotomies.
