Posterior urethra

Yes. Pelvic radiation can cause scarring, poor tissue healing, bleeding, strictures, fistulas, or bladder problems months or years later. Reconstruction in radiated tissue can be more complicated, so planning often focuses on tissue quality, kidney drainage, infection control, and choosing an approach that is realistic for the individual situation.

A major pelvic fracture can injure or separate the urethra, sometimes leaving a scarred gap after the trauma has healed. Patients may have a suprapubic tube, difficulty urinating, or a completely blocked urethra. Repair planning depends on the injury pattern, prior procedures, imaging, bladder function, and timing after the original trauma.

The most useful items are:

• Imaging: CT urogram, MRI, retrograde/antegrade studies, or ultrasounds. The actual images matter, not just the reports; for many patients, asking the imaging center for CDs is still the simplest way to get a complete copy.
• Operative notes from any prior urinary-tract surgeries.
• Procedure and cystoscopy reports, including stent or tube changes.
• A brief timeline of your symptoms and treatments, plus recent kidney-function labs.

Having these ready before your first call makes the review more useful. Contact the office and speak with the scheduling team about the best way to submit records for your case.
