Abstract:
Objective:To discuss the treatment methods for old pelvic fractures and urethral injuries in young girls.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 10 girls, mean age of(8.5±4.3)years with old pelvic fractures and urethral injuries treated with different surgical methods in our hospital from April 2015 to April 2023. 7 cases were complicated with urethrovaginal fistula, 1 case was complicated with vesicovaginal fistula; 5 patients had distal urethral atresia or stenosis; 5 cases complicated with vaginal stenosis or partial atresia. One case underwent repair of urethrovaginal fistula via transpertoineal approach, two cases underwent urethral anastomosis (end to end anastomosis) via transpubic approach, one case underwent repair of urethrovaginal fistula and bladder neck urethral anastomosis via transpubic approach, four cases underwent urethroplasty repair of urethrovaginal fistula and bladder neck reconstruction surgery, one underwent urethroplasty and bladder neck reconstruction surgery via transpubic approach, one underwent augmented enterocystoplasty and continent urinary diversion by using the appendix. Observe the urination condition after operation (Urinary incontinence is defined as the use of more than 1 piece of urine pad per day, good urination is defined as the use of ≤ 1 piece of urine pad per day, and dysuria is defined as the complaint of laborious urination, and the maximum urine flow rate is less than 10 ml/s).Results:All surgeries were successfully completed without complications such as wound infection or tissue necrosis.The postoperative follow-up time was (52.0±26.2) months. 2 cases achieved good continence and no dysuria.Postoperative complications occurred in 7 cases, of which 2 cases had dysuria due to urethral stricture and improved after urethral dilatation; 5 cases of urethrovaginal fistula recurred, of which 3 cases had undergone rerepair surgery, and 2 of them achieved good urinary control without dysuria. One case with enterocystoplasty and contiunent urinary diversion recovered well after surgery.Conclusions:The management of old pelvic fractures and urethral injuries in girls is complicated, with a high rate of postoperative complications. It is necessary to choose appropriate treatment methods based on age, severity of the lesion, and urethral and vaginal conditions.
