Zusammenfassung:Case Female urethral injury or bladder neck rupture associated with pelvic fracture is rare. The experience of this injury is limited and the management is still challenging. Here we describe a young female patient with urethral injury and vesicovaginal fistula associated with pelvic fracture due to traffic accident. We discuss the recommendation and management about this problem. Outcome We selected staged surgical management for this case, and fortunately succeeded in the repair of the urethral and vaginal injury and acquired favorable continence. Conclusion Appropriate management should be selected according to the condition in each patient. But it should be taken into consideration that a patient with pelvic fracture is critically ill, and an experienced urologist of this field is not always available at that time.
