Preoperative Cystoscopy Is Beneficial in Selection of Patients for Laparoscopic Repair of Intraperitoneal Bladder Rupture

Abstract

Intraperitoneal bladder rupture is usually caused by blunt external trauma to a distended bladder. Although intraperitoneal bladder injuries generally require a formal laparotomy, advances in minimally invasive surgery have allowed for successful laparoscopic repair. This video demonstrates our preoperative evaluation and laparoscopic technique in a case of traumatic intraperitoneal bladder rupture.
