  • Title: Laparoscopic repair of a traumatic bladder rupture.
    Author: Marchand TD, Cuadra RH, Ricchiuti DJ.
    Journal: JSLS; 2012; 16(1):155-8. PubMed ID: 22906346.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic repair of the traumatic intraperitoneal bladder rupture is a proven, safe, and effective technique in the appropriate setting. A 23-year-old male with traumatic intraperitoneal bladder rupture proven by cystogram after a motor vehicle collision was successfully repaired via a laparoscopic approach. We describe the technique in detail including 2-layer closure and follow-up care. A review of the literature using PubMed with the key words [laparoscopic repair bladder injury] AND [bladder trauma] was performed. We recommend the consideration of laparoscopic repair of the intraperitoneal bladder rupture in more trauma patients who meet criteria.
