Abstract
- Whether indwelling urethral catheter should be removed after urethroplasty or visual internal urethrotomy in patients with posterior urethral injured is still controversial. From May 1990 to February 1995, 28 patients with posterior urethral injury underwent retrograde pericatheter urethrography for the purpose of the evaluation of urethral continuity in the timing of the removal of indwelling urethral catheter. The indwelling catheter was removed in 24 patients whose urethra did not have any extravasation, and 4 patients had detectable extravasation. We conclude that retrograde pericatheter urethrogram is the most useful radiologically diagnostic method to evaluate in the timing of the removal of indwelling urethral catheter and to obtain the objective parameter of urethral patency in posterior urethral injured patients, postoperatively.
