5. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP): Urethral stricture occurs in
3.1–10% of patients, possibly as the consequence of abrasions by oversized
resectoscopes, electrical transmission through the sheath with urethral burn, or
post-operative urinary tract infections.
6. Transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT)
7. Radical prostatectomy: anastomotic urethra-vesical stricture (occurs in 7–17%)
8. Insertion of the needle during TOT or TVT.
The WHO consensus summarizes the causes of urethral injury as [1]:
1. Posterior urethra injuries:
– Penetrating injuries: Gunshot wounds, stab wounds
– PFUIs: road trafc accidents, falls from heights, industrial accidents
– Iatrogenic injuries: endoscopic surgery (TURP), and radical prostatectomy
2. Anterior urethral injuries:
– Blunt trauma: fall astride, kicks in the perineum, go-kart injuries, skateboarding
– Penetrating trauma: gunshot/stab wounds
– Sexual excess: penile fractures
– Urethral foreign bodies
– Constriction bands (seen in paraplegics, etc.)
– Iatrogenic injuries: urethral catheters, penile surgery, endoscopic
instrumentation

28 Etiology, Mechanisms, andAnatomopathology ofUrethral Injury

Classification ofUrethral Injury

Many grading systems have been proposed for urethral injury, but they all suffer
from the lack of high-level evidence and are merely based on the authors’ experience [1]. One of the oldest is the Colapinto and McCallum classication proposed
in 1977, based on retrograde urethrography. It was exclusively proposed for the
posterior urethra [2] (Table29.1).
The most popular classication was proposed by Goldman etal. in 1977, which
is a modication and completion of the Colapinto and McCallum classication with
the addition of more anatomical descriptions [3, 4] (Table29.2; Fig.29.1).
The AAST classication published by Moore et al. in 1995 emphasized the
importance of the anatomopathological aspect of the injury being either a simple
contusion, a partial or a total disruption, and for total disruption, more severe injuries are dened by a greater than 2-cm urethral gap [5].
Table 29.1 Colapinto and McCallum classication and description of posterior urethral injury
Type I The prostate or the urogenital diaphragm is dislocated, causing elongation and
tension of the bulbomembranous urethra. There may be urethral contusion or
laceration (not full thickness)
Type II The membranous urethra is ruptured above the urogenital diaphragm, with or
without prostatic injury. The bulbous urethra is intact. The rupture may be partial or
complete
Type III The membranous urethra is disrupted above and below the urogenital diaphragm.
The rupture usually is complete and may be associated with a rupture of the
urogenital diaphragm and/or rupture of the bulbous urethra

Goldman’s classication has been endorsed by the WHO consensus committee
in 2004 because of its predictive value for incontinence [6]. However, the same
committee suggested the following simplication:
(a) Anterior urethra: (1) partial disruption, (2) complete disruption
(b) Posterior urethra: (3) posterior urethra stretched but intact, (4) partial disrup-
tion, (5) complete disruption, (6) complex (involves bladder neck/rectum)
In 2001 Al Rifaei etal. proposed a new functional and anatomical classication
of urethral injury secondary to pelvic fracture adding an emphasis on the sphincteric
mechanism [7] (Table29.3).
The multiplicity of these classications reects the lack of consensus as none is
perfect and universally accepted. Moreover, they don’t clearly provide an answer to
the ideal technique and timing of reconstructive surgeries for PFUIs and are therefore considered by certain researchers to have only little impact on the technique
selection and the surgical outcome prediction [1].
The European Association of Urology (EAU) attempted to reach a consensus by
summarizing the most relevant points of the above classications with the purpose
to have direct implications for clinical management [8] (Table29.4).
In addition to the classication of urethral injury, there is also an EAU endoscopic classication of urethral stricture, regardless of the etiology [9] (Table29.5).
This classication has an important bearing as prior evaluation of the stricture
using a small caliber ureteroscope (4.5 and 6 Fr) has shown signicant benets in
the selection of the surgical approach and helps also counseling the patient about
expectations and realistic results [10].

Diagnosis ofUrethral Injury: Symptoms,
https://t.me/medicina_free
Signs, andImaging Studies
30.1 Symptoms andSigns
The WHO experts’ consensus has recommended considering the following signs for
the diagnosis of urethral injury: blood at the urethral meatus, difculty or inability
to urinate, distended urinary bladder, buttery bruising of the perineum, high-riding
prostate on digital rectal examination (DRE), pelvic fractures with displacement of
the pubic rami, and pelvic hematoma on imaging [1]. Hematuria and/or urethral
bleeding remain the best indicator of urinary tract injury, and they have an
incidence of 91 to 100% in urethral trauma [2].
In RTA, patients are likely to sustain multi-organ injuries and attention will naturally be immediately diverted to the most life-threatening injury (major vessels laceration, ruptured kidney, liver or spleen, hollow viscus). Stabilization of any fracture
comes second, but when the pelvic arch is involved, attention should immediately
be brought to the integrity of the urinary bladder and the urethra. The history of
urination since the time of the accident should be elicited. The bladder should be
palpated for fullness and the external organs and the perineal region should be
examined for any painful swelling and skin discoloration (urinary extravasation,
hematoma). A digital rectal examination (DRE) should be performed as well as a
vaginal examination in females looking for associated rectal or vaginal injury.
When the patient conrms being able to void, either clear urine or bloodstained, he/she should be catheterized. However, if he/she is not able to void
and there is fresh blood coming out through the external meatus, a severe urethral injury should be suspected regardless of the importance of the bleeding,
and therefore catheterization must be avoided. Blood at the external meatus is
a very reliable sign of severe urethral injury despite there being a possibility of
fallacious overdiagnosis in presence of a simple mucosal contusion.
A frequent pitfall is when the examiner fails to palpate the prostate on DRE and
thinks it has been displaced upward. There might just be a boggy hematoma that
prevents this examination combined with the poor cooperativeness of the patient

due to pain. However, the palpation of a free-oating prostate is almost pathog-
nomonic of complete urethral rupture but remains a challenging nding taking
into account the tenderness and the pelvic hematoma. Nonetheless, it is noteworthy
to keep in mind that palpation of a high-riding prostate is always a reliable indicator
of an injured urethra, and the posterior urethra might be signicantly stretched without disruption, allowing the prostate to be pushed cranially [2, 3].
The presence of any of the traditional signs of urethral injury, namely blood at
the urethral meatus, perineal hematoma, and high-riding prostate, has been shown
to have a sensitivity of 66.7% in the prediction of urethral injury. The presence of
pubic symphysis disruption had a prediction sensitivity as higher as 92.5%, and
when considering the presence of a pubic symphysis disruption or any of the above
clinical signs, the sensitivity rises to 100% [3] (Table30.1).
In the pediatric population, there might be a buttery hematoma (bruising) at the
supercial perineum associated with injuries to the urethra distal to the urogenital
diaphragm. Scrotal or labial swelling in boys and girls, respectively, are also possible following the collection of extravasated uids after the rupture of Scarpa’s fascia
and Dartos fascia in severe pelvic fractures [4].
Unlike the posterior urethral disruptions which are often associated with other
organs’ trauma of pelvic fractures, blunt anterior urethral trauma is generally isolated or just associated with cavernosal injury. Moreover, this injury might be so
mild that the patients neglect it, as they have no immediate symptoms; and the
majority of them will seek medical help only when a stricture develops and causes
voiding difculty, after several months or years [5, 6].
30.2 Imaging Investigations
Computed Tomography (CT) is routinely used as a rst initial imaging modality in
polytrauma patients, but the best radiological means to diagnose a urethral
injury is retrograde urethrography (RUG) either in an acute or chronic setting.
This will demonstrate a normal urethra, extravasation with some contrast entering
the bladder (partial rupture), extravasation of all the contrast with the proximal tract
not visualized (complete rupture), or a narrow segment (stricture) with or without a
complete obstruction of the urethral lumen.

30.2 Imaging Investigations
https://t.me/medicina_free
241
If the management consists of an initial suprapubic catheter insertion and delayed
nal treatment, a combined RUG and antegrade cystourethrography should be performed to dene the length of the urethral gap before undertaking the denitive
reconstructive surgery. A exible ureteroscope can also be introduced through the
SPC site to examine the bladder neck and assess its competence for medico-legal
purposes as re-establishment of a patent urethral channel might unmask occult
incontinence caused by sphincter damage at the time of the trauma [7].
1. Urethrographic approaches: Urethrography can be performed through an
ascending (retrograde technique), a descending (antegrade technique), or a combination of the two.
The standard technique includes the following steps [8, 9]:
(a) Retrograde or ascending urethrography (Figs.30.1a, b and 30.2a–e).
– Disinfection of the external meatus with the patient in a supine position.
– Insertion of a 6–8 Fr Foley catheter, or a hysterosalpingographic catheter
in the external meatus and ination of its balloon with 1–2mL of saline
ab
