Question 15

Describe the lesion that has occurred: patient presents with blood at urethral meatus, and he has a scrotal hematoma… he was involved in a perineal straddle injury. There is perforation of the spongy urethra - blood accumulates in the scrotum. If deep penile fascia (Buck fascia) is torn, urine escapes into peritoneal space.

Answer 15

Anterior urethral injury
