Complex Traumatic Posterior Urethral Strictures

Abstract
A distinction between simple and complex posterior urethral strictures [in humans] was proposed. The development of a complex stricture, requiring an extensive transpubic repair, must be regarded as a less than admirable result of the initial treatment, even if it is occasionally inevitable. It was particularly important that improvement of the end result of relatively rare severe urethral injuries should not result in over-management of the relatively common minor injuries, since this may increase the stricture potential of many.
