Abstract
A review of the complications of urethral instrumentation performed at our institution during the last 15 years revealed 2 cases of urethrorectal perforation. These patients were managed with loop colostomy and suprapubic cystostomy diversion with excellent healing and no evidence of fistula formation at 24-month followup. This rare complication is described and the principles of diagnosis, prevention and prompt aggressive management are emphasized.Keywords
