| Popis: | The simple traction by a balloon catheter splint technique is used in the treatment of posterior urethral disruption in this series. The abdominal safety line, which is a size 1 silk passed through the eyes of the urethral splint (Foley catheter) and rolled up on gauze with some tension on the anterior abdominal wall has been used in three cases. The value of this line is to anchor the urethral splint, to produce some countertractive effect, and to replace it if it failed; also, it could be used as a guide if it is decided to replace the urethral Foley catheter (splint) under vision with the help of the sheath of the optical urethrotome. |
