ABSTRACT: The research proposes a surgical technique for patients with chronic pubic symphysis diastasis and bladder herniation by means of a pelvic reconstruction technique. Three patients were treated initially in other hospitals and referred to us. All presented with pubic symphysis diastasis greater than 7 cm and bladder herniation. Two patients were initially treated with external fixation, and in one patient, the symphysis diastasis had been completely neglected. All cases presented good evolution with the proposed technique, which is described in details in the paper.
