Abstract

An endoscopically guided primary catheterization under local anesthesia was performed as an initial management of 11 patients with ant. urethral rupture, beginning Dec., 1985. According to the degree and extent of the trauma, endoscopically viewed, the duration of indwelling of the catheter varied from 8 to 30 days. Of the 9 partial ruptures, 7 have excellent results without stricture and 2 have short urethral stricture of 3mm length. Of the 11 ruptures, 2 were complete and resulted in 5mm length of short stricture, which can be easily treated with Endoscopic Internal Urethrotomy.
