Department of Urology, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Severance Hospital, Seoul, Korea.

Injuries to the female urethra, especially in childhood, are rarely seen with pelvic trauma. Complete transection of the membranous urethra was sustained by a ten-year-old girl in a car accident. A delayed retropubic urethroplasty after suprapubic cystostomy drainage was accomplished. The technique of the repair is described. Delayed repair in a female child is an excellent alternative to primary realignment if a primary repair cannot be accomplished.
