Özet
Early or late treatment modialities may be instituted in urethral injuries related to trauma. Forty-six boys with urethral injuries that were treated were retrospectively analysed to review our results with early primary realignment and delayed urethroplasty. Thirty-six children were treated with early primary realignment while 10 had a delayed urethroplasty. Urethral strictures developed in 14 cases (39 %) of the realignment group and in 2 cases (12 %) of the urethroplasty patients. The primary realignment patients had a more unfavorable outcome when compared to the delayed repair group. We believe that delayed urethroplasty should be favored to early primary alignment in childhood posterior urethral injuries.
