Ischemic necrosis of the bulbar urethra in a patient with pelvic fracture urethral injury without a prior history of surgical intervention is extremely rare and results in long-segment obliterative strictures that are difficult to manage. Instead of the more traditional approach of vascular reconstruction followed by transpubic end-to-end urethroplasty, these patients are better managed by up-front urethroplasty with a tubed flap or as a staged procedure with grafting and tubularization. Herein, we report a case of primary bulbar urethral ischemic necrosis due to pelvic fracture managed with tubularized preputial flap (McAninch flap) urethroplasty.
