Diagnosis and management of bladder injuries

Joseph N Corriere Jr et al. Urol Clin North Am. 2006 Feb.

Abstract

Injuries to the bladder are caused by blunt and penetrating trauma. The diagnosis ismade by filling the bladder with contrast in a retrograde fashion and imaging the organwhen filled and after drainage. Intraperitoneal ruptures need formal surgical closure,whereas extraperitoneal lesions may be treated, under certain circumstances, with cathe-ter drainage and observation.
