urethra pelvic injury transpubic approach

summary

Four children were operated upon by the transpubic approach for injury to the vagina
and/or urethra and to correct malformations within the pelvis minor. One boy had post-
traumatic stricture of the urethra and a girl presented with disruption of the urethra and
vagina. One of two boys with congenital malformations was treated for epispadias and
incontinence; the other for a large urethral diverticulum due to anal atresia. Total
reconstruction was achieved and no complications of symphysis restoration were
observed.
