CASE REPORT
Surgical repair of the iatrogenic falsepassage
in the treatment of trauma-induced posterior urethral injuries

Pelvic fracture associated urethral
injury (PFAUI) is a rare and challenging sequel of blunt pelvic trauma. Treatment of iatrogenic false urethral passage (FUP) remains as a challenge for urologists. In this case report we reviewed the
iatrogenic FUP caused by wrong procedures performed
in the treatment of a patient with PFAUI and the treatment of posterior urethral stricture with transperineal
bulbo-prostatic anatomic urethroplasty in the management of FUP. A 37-year-old male patient with PFAUI
had undergone a laparotomy procedure for pelvic bone
fracture, complete urethral rupture, and bladder perforation 8 years ago. After stricture formation, patient
had undergone procedures that caused FUP. Following
operations, he had a low urinary flow rate, and incontinence and urgency even with small amounts of urine.
FUP was diagnosed by voiding cystourethrography and
retrograde urethrography. FUP was fixed with open
urethroplasty with the guidance of flexible antegrade
urethtoscopy. False passage should always be taken
into account in the differential diagnosis of patients
with persistent symptoms that underwent PFAUI therapy. In addition, we believe that in the evaluation of
patients with PFAUI suspected for having a false
passage, bladder neck and urethra should be assessed
by combining routine voiding cystourethrography and
retrograde urethrography with preoperative flexible
cystoscopy via suprapubic route.
trauma may cause a life-long morbidity unless properly
treated. While treatment approach in partial urethral
rupture includes watchful waiting after performing a
simple cystostomy, complete urethral rupture can be
repaired with 3 methods: 1) Realignment of the separated urethral ends over a catheter (urethral realignment),
2) Primary anastomosis of separated urethral ends, and
3) Immediate suprapubic cystostomy and delayed repair
of the resulting stricture on an elective basis (3).
Emergency treatment of PFAUI has not been standardized
in developing countries. On majority of cases wrong procedures cause iatrogenic injuries in addition to trauma
itself (4). Sometimes, careless and/or repeated urethral
dilatations also lead to false urethral passage (FUP) formation, which results in infections and incontinence.
Treatment of iatrogenic FUP remains as a challenge for
urologists (5). Furthermore, there is a paucity of data
about the urethroplasty procedure performed for urethral
stricture formed by FUP. In this case report we reviewed
the iatrogenic FUP caused by wrong procedures performed in the treatment of a patient with PFAUI and the
treatment of posterior urethral stricture with transperinealbulbo-prostatic anatomic urethroplasty in the management of FUP.
Case Report and Figures are posted in Suppementary
materials on www.aiua.it.
KEY WORDS: False urethral passage; flexible cystoscoby; pelvic
fracture; urethral injury.
False passage is an abnormal passage between urinary
bladder and urethra, which is observed in association
with posterior urethral stricture and is caused by a iatrogenic injury resulting from careless and wrong treatment
procedures after trauma. If unnoticed, this false passage
between urethra and bladder causes very frequent complaints; furthermore, repeated endoscopic procedures
(internal urethrotomy), catheterization, or urethral
dilatation become necessary. Following dilatation, hesitancy, incontinence, and urgency persist. Furthermore,
false passage scar tissue around traumatized tissue causes prolonged and chronic infections and hence leads to
stricture formation (6).

INTRODUCTION
Pelvic fracture associated urethral injury (PFAUI) is a rare
and challenging sequel of blunt pelvic trauma. In 425% of male patients with pelvic bone fractures, simultaneous posterior urethral injury is observed (1). Injury
to posterior urethra may be a simple contusion, or it
may appear as partial or complete rupture (2). Urethral

Surgical repair of the iatrogenic falsepassage in the treatment of trauma-induced posterior urethral injuries
Methods used for diagnosis of posterior urethral strictures before reconstruction should clearly delineate stricture length and site, determine the anatomy of posterior
urethra and bladder neck, and show false passages and
fistulas if any. Conventional methods include simultaneous CCUG and dynamic retrograde urethrography. It is
necessary to make a pre-treatment assessment via combined radiological and endoscopic methods especially in
obliterated cases where prostatic and proximal urethra
cannot be visualized.
False passage is diagnosed with urethrography. Combined
voiding cystourethrography and retrograde urethrography can clearly show the site and path of the passage (7).
Cystourethroscopy plays a limited role in diagnosis since
normal anatomical structures cannot be localized. This
was also the case in our patient because his false passage
could not be identified despite multiple endoscopic procedures at other medical facilities. A false passage should
be taken into consideration for diagnosis in case normal
anatomical markers like veru montanum, bladder
trigone, and external sphincter could not be seen during
cystourethroscopy. A flexible cystoscope advanced
through a suprapubic route is highly useful for the diagnosis of false passage. While normal bladder neck is a
funnel-shaped, soft, elastic, and of smooth structure, a
false passage is a pale mucosal formation associated with
a vertical circular dense scar and a coarse granulation that
is located close to bladder neck (6).
In conclusion, recurrent urethral strictures develop due
to inappropriate and insufficient initial therapies in
patients with PFAUI with complete urethral separation;
Figure.
Preoperative VCUG and RUG shows the location of a false passage
and urethral stricture. The black arrow shows normal bladder neck
and prostatic urethra, the blue arrow shows the urethral stricture
and the beginning of the intraprostatic false passage, while the white
arrow shows the false passage located close to bladder neck.
as a result, various endoscopic procedures and urethral
dilatations become necessary. Even after these therapies,
hesitancy, incontinence, and urgency are observed. False
passage should always be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of patients with persistent symptoms
that underwent PFAUI therapy. In addition, we believe
that in the evaluation of patients with PFAUI suspected
for having a false passage, bladder neck and urethra
should be assessed by combining routine voiding cystourethrography and retrograde urethrography with preoperative flexible cystoscopy via suprapubic route.
The guidance of a flexible cystoscope via suprapubic
route during the operation is quite helpful. It also guides
procedures of curettage and dissection to determine the
true anatomical structures and to identify the normal
urethral tract, particularly in cases where prostatic urethra is blocked.

The stone disease is extremely diverse – from single stone formers
with spontaneous stone passage to staghorn stones and stone diseases associated with severe metabolic abnormalities such as
renal tubular acidosis and primary hyperoxaluria. It is obvious that
these different conditions should be dealt with selectively. In this
context sharing knowledge on clinical practices – tips and tricks –
between practising stone clinicians becomes especially important,
and the most effective way that tips and tricks may be lifted up
into an academic sphere is through international knowledge
exchange. It is with this respect that this handbook on stone management plays a particular important role by creating a platform for
exchange of clinical expertise. The contributors are international
renowned stone experts, sharing with us their views of different approaches to the great variety of
urinary stone diseases.
The handbook offers a unique synthesis of theory and tips-and tricks-technology, bridging basic
science and daily clinical practice.
