Pubectomy has been useful, particularly for the treatment of traumatic disruption of the deep urethra after a preliminary cystostomy. This procedure provides unparalleled exposure for mobilization of the apex of the prostate and distal urethral segment, and the accomplishment of an end-to-end anastomosis. Results have been good. Pubectomy has been helpful in selected cases of chronic osteitis pubis. Experience with the technique was helpful during radical pubectomy in 2 patients with chondrosarcoma of the pubis.
