Emergency primary repair of grade V bladder neck injury complicating pelvic fracture
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of a grade V bladder injury complicating an open-book pelvic fracture following a road traffic accident. The bladder neck injury was primarily repaired in the emergency setting of a poor-resourced area with successful outcome. The dangers of urinary extravasation are still to be considered of importance and we advocate and encourage immediate/emergency open intervention although it remains controversial to say the least in a lesser resourced healthcare set up.

The standard of care after a pelvic fracture urethral injury is a repair via a one-stage anastomotic posterior urethroplasty using a step-wise perineal approach. The initial injury, immediate postoperative management, and surgical repair can all affect urinary continence in these patients. Proximal continence mechanisms, particularly the bladder neck, are particularly important in maintaining u...

Bladder rupture is rare and is often associated with other serious injuries and a high mortality rate. The preferred evaluation is by retrograde computed tomography (CT) cystogram to classify the injury as intra or extraperitoneal. Intraperitoneal injuries will always require open repair, while extraperitoneal injuries can be managed with catheter drainage alone in a majority of cases, with som...
