Urethral Injuries Related to Pelvic Fractures: Contemporary Approach and Recommendations – Summary
Reynaldo Gomez, MD, FACS, covers two key aspects of reconstructive surgery for pelvic fracture-related urethral injuries (PF UIs): the timing of reconstruction and refinements in surgical techniques. In this 10-minute presentation, Gomez first addresses the mandatory three-month waiting period before reconstruction, noting that this time frame can be shortened in certain cases. The second part of the talk addresses refinements in the surgical technique, emphasizing the importance of preserving bulb arteries during reconstruction to avoid ischemia.
