• If incomplete laceration – spontaneous If incomplete laceration – spontaneous healing in 2-3 weekshealing in 2-3 weeks
• Complete laceration – reconstruction after Complete laceration – reconstruction after 3 months3 months

Bladder TraumaBladder Trauma
• Adult: Extraperitoneal organAdult: Extraperitoneal organ
• Bladder dome = weakest pointBladder dome = weakest point
• Blunt: 60-85%Blunt: 60-85%

• Important to recognizeImportant to recognize– Pelvic/abdominal wall abscess/necrosisPelvic/abdominal wall abscess/necrosis– PeritonitisPeritonitis– Intra-abdominal abscessIntra-abdominal abscess– Sepsis / DeathSepsis / Death
Types of ruptureTypes of rupture
• ExtraperitonealExtraperitoneal– Most commonMost common– Pelvic # in 89-100%Pelvic # in 89-100%– Bladder rupture in 5-10% of all pelvic #Bladder rupture in 5-10% of all pelvic #
• IntraperitonealIntraperitoneal– Extravasation of urine in abdomenExtravasation of urine in abdomen– Sudden force to full bladderSudden force to full bladder– Associated injuries +++ Mortality Associated injuries +++ Mortality
