Abstract
Bull horn injuries are common in rural India. Here one such case causing urethrorectal fistula has been reported. The patient was presented with history of bull horn injury 6 hours back. He was examined under general anaesthesia and found to have lacerations in the anus and anterior wall of rectum. Urgent retrograde urethrography and cystography showed partial rupture of bulbar urethra and urethrorectal fistula. Initially sigmoid colostomy and suprapubic cystostomy was done. Later optical internal urethrotomy was done. The patient was catheterised for 3 weeks and the fistula healed completely.
