[Complete or incomplete rupture of the urethra (author's transl)]. 1982

S Petkovic

The question is theoretical and practical. The author feels that others, very lightly, include such cases of rupture in the context of complete rupture. However, his analysis shows that such rupture of the anterior urethra is much more frequently incomplete and, in the posterior urethra approximately of the same prevalence. This experience is based upon 400 cases of rupture, and the author has already reported several series concerning this condition.
