Abstract: Urethral transection without associated pelvic bone fracture is an uncommon entity in females. There are no standard guidelines available informing about the management of such injuries, due to the limited number of cases. We present a case of a 22-year-old female who sustained an isolated urethral injury after falling from a height and was successfully managed with prompt surgical repair. Urethral transection occurred along with anterior vaginal wall laceration, due to compression of tissues between the pubic bone and the hard object on the ground on which the impact occurred upon falling from a height. End-to-end urethroplasty was performed, and the patient was voiding normally at six-month follow-up.
