compatible with bladder perforation in 17 (50%) compatible with bladder perforation in 17 (50%) cases. None of the perforations were recognized cases. None of the perforations were recognized intraoperatively by the surgeon. All perforations intraoperatively by the surgeon. All perforations were extraperitoneal and managed were extraperitoneal and managed conservatively. There was no significant conservatively. There was no significant correlation between the incidence of bladder correlation between the incidence of bladder perforation and the patient age (perforation and the patient age (pp = 0.508), the = 0.508), the tumor stage (tumor stage (pp = 0.998), the tumor grade ( = 0.998), the tumor grade (pp = = 0.833), the number of lesions (0.833), the number of lesions (pp = 0.394), and = 0.394), and the tumor size (the tumor size (pp = 0.651). The only factor that = 0.651). The only factor that had impact on the development of bladder had impact on the development of bladder perforation was tumor localization at the bottom perforation was tumor localization at the bottom of the bladder (of the bladder (pp = 0.035; OR, 6750; 95% CI, = 0.035; OR, 6750; 95% CI, 1.14, 39.8).
