Abstract
We report a rare case of complete avulsion of the proximal urethra from the bladder neck and a urethrovaginal fistula secondary to blunt pelvic injury in a girl. The management consisted of a relatively simple first stage procedure, suprapubic cystostomy, followed 6 months later by transpubic repair of the defect. The child is continent and free of urethral obstruction 10 months postoperatively.Keywords
