OBSERVATIONS ON URETHRAL INJURY ASSOCIATED WITH PELVIC FRACTURE

Abstract

Statistical studies and analysis of the cases of urethral injuries associated with pelvic fracture collected from 38 departments of urology of medical school in Japan were performed.
The data were compared with those of our hospital. References to the orthopedic data of our hospital were made, too.
Some case reports warning enough against the time-missing treatment were also made.
From the results above, early accurate diagnosis and deliberate first aid for this kind of patients were emphasized, which lead to the good prognosis.
