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.
