Mr. R had come to us from Chamba, over two days journey away. He had sustained a fall and a straddle injury which destroyed one testes and ruptured his urethra three months ago for which he had a suprapubic cystostomy to drain his urine. He had already been to PGI Chandigarh and IGMC Simla, but for one reason or the other, was not able to get anyone to fix his problem, which would require a surgical refashioning of his ruptured urethra.
He arrived here last week and was most adamant that he stay till we were able to operate on him. He underwent a successful urethroplasty, which cuts away the damaged portion of the urethra and refashions it to create a passage for urine. He is now doing well and should be able to be discharged soon.
We thank God that we were able to do this for him.
