Predictors of elaborated perineal or a combined abdominoperineal approach during repair for pelvic fracture urethral injury

ConclusionsThe need of step 3 or higher during urethroplasty for PFUI can be predicted pre-operatively with conventional imaging (RGU/VCUG). Patients with proximal urethral stump above the lower margin of pubic symphysis were about 66 times more likely to need step 3 or higher during urethroplasty.
