AbstractAs more of the patients with traumatic pelvic injuries survive, they desire an optimal quality of life, including normal sexual function, even after the most severe injuries. We present the case of a 31-year-old woman who had dyspareunia due to impaired vaginal penetration after severe pelvic injury. After excision of a disunited fragment of pelvic bone and an adhesion band at the vaginal wall, dyspareunia was considerably resolved and the patient resumed sexual function. In cases of severe pelvic injury, physicians used to be satisfied with the patient's survival alone, and tended to regard sexual dysfunction as a trivial outcome. However, restoration of sexual function is an important part of management of these patients. In selected cases, obstructive dyspareunia resulting from traumatic pelvic injury can be managed by planned surgical intervention.© 2014 The Authors.
