Abstract

We report a case of 63-years-old man with a chief complaint of urinary retention and urethral meatal bleeding due to straddle injury. Urological examination revealed proximal bulbous urethral disruption with 1cm gap, and then cystostomy was placed. Afterwards, urethral disruption was treated by echo guided endoscopic urethroplasty. Transurethral resection of scar tissue was performed twice for postoperative urethral stricture. Postoperative voiding cystourethrography revealed no urethral stricture. The patient voids well without urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Recently, endoscopic urethroplasty, which is easy, minimally invasive, and repeatable in comparison with open urethral reconstruction, has been frequently performed for urethral disruption as endoscopic instruments functionally develop. Echo guided image in the present case is so useful that proximal and distal end of urethral disruption can be shown in same plane, indicating that primary urethral tract can be reconstructed without injury of rectum and urethra.
