Abstract
- We report a 3-year-old patient with urethral cut injury and iatrogenic vesicovaginal fistula following a pelvic fracture; managed with Mitrofanoff procedure. Our patient presented with straining on urination with continuous colorless discharge on her diaper for the past 4 months. Investigations identified vesicovaginal fistulization making a definitive diagnosis of complete urethral injury. It was managed with the Mitrofanoff procedure to preserve the patient's urinary continence. Our case is to our knowledge the youngest reported case of a complete traumatic urethral cut in a female; an already rare encounter in this population. This is also the first such case to be managed via the Mitrofanoff procedure. Although the management was delayed, it was successful.<br />Competing Interests: We declare no competing interest.<br /> (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. © The Author(s) 2025.)
