Authors presented their experience in diagnosis and treatment of 5 cases of traumatic rupture of urethra. Clinical symptoms of the closed type of the urethra are frequently not clear. In 70 % of patients, outer urethral orifice bleeding is usually omitted. When this injury could be suspected, urethral catheterization is not recommended because it might extend level of damage. Urethrography is recommended as it would offer sufficient information on the injury. Pulling the balloon catheter to approach proximal and distal part of the injured urethra will result in creating fibrous channel between the rupted parts of urethra however, this fibrotic part tends to develop dilatation resistant stricture.
