  • Title: Recurrent bladder perforation in chronic irradiation cystitis.
    Author: Golomb J, Waizbard E, Iellin A, Merimsky E.
    Journal: J Urol (Paris); 1986; 92(1):47-8. PubMed ID: 3722854.
    Abstract:
    Chronic irradiation cystitis may cause fibrosis and weakening of the detrusor, with greater susceptibility of the bladder wall to endoscopic trauma. We lately treated a patient with chronic irradiation cystitis who sustained recurrent bladder perforation, one after electrohydraulic lithotripsy and the other--following cystoscopy. The first event was handled surgically and the second one in a conservative approach. We hereby report on the case and comment on the etiology.
