Diagnosis and Management of Bladder Injuries
2006
Injuries to the bladder are caused by blunt and penetrating trauma. The diagnosis is made by filling the bladder with contrast in a retrograde fashion and imaging the organ when filled and after drainage. Intraperitoneal ruptures need formal surgical closure, whereas extraperitoneal lesions may be treated, under certain circumstances, with catheter drainage and observation.
