"The procedure is performed as follows. Keep the patient supine and still to avoid potentially disrupting a stable pelvic hematoma. Obtain a baseline abdominal radiograph (KUB) and ensure the film captures the entire course of the urethra and bladder…."
"…Retract the foreskin, if present, and control the shaft of the penis with a 4 by 4 inch gauze pad to prevent slippage. Stretch the penis obliquely over the thigh to promote unfolding and visualization of the entire urethra. Fill a 60 mL syringe with 10 percent water-soluble contrast (diluted in sterile saline) and attach a Christmas tree adaptor. Insert the adaptor snugly into the urethral meatus ensuring a tight fit as leaking contrast will result in a spurious study." #InadvertentlyHorrifyingParagraphsInMedicalLiterature
