INCIDENCE10% of trauma: involve GU system
 Bladder trauma: 60-80% are due to BLUNT TRAUMA
 Highly associated with pelvic # (70-97%)
 Most common complication of bladder trauma -> BLADDER RUPTURE (90%)CAUSES OF BLADDER TRAUMABLUNT TRAUMA (67-86%)MVA
DECELERATING INJURYPENETRATING INJURY (14-33%)HIGH VELOCITY GUNSHOT
STAB WOUND IATROGENICMEDICAL PROCEDURECLASSIFICATION OF BLADDER INJURYBASED  ON  FINDINGS  ON  CT  CYSTOGRAPHY:
Grade II:Subtle intraperitoneal contrast material between small bowel loopsGrade III:Focal lenticular thickening of the bladder wall due to interstitial hematoma and likely muscular disruption
Grade IVa:Extravasated contrast material into confined to the perivesical space within extraperitoneal pelvisGrade IVb:Complex extraperitoneal spread-> extension into rectus abdominis muscle as well as subcutaneous fascia
2) BASED  ON  TYPES  OF  INJURY:
PERITONEAL  EXTRAVASATIONBELOW PERITONEAL REFLECTION (EMPTY BLADDER): EXTRAPERITONEAL SPREADABOVE PERITONEAL REFLECTION (FULL BLADDER):INTRAPERITONEAL SPREAD
EXTRAPERITONEAL  BLADDERRUPTURE (80 %)Associated with pelvic fracture (80-100%)Direct laceration of the bladder by the bony fragments> severe fracture, degree of bladder injury ↑Cystographic finding: contrast extravasation around base of bladder confined to perivesical space
Extravasation seen outside the bladder in the pelvis
INTRAPERITONEAL BLADDERRUPTURE (20 %)Direct blow to a distended bladderFull bladder -> muscle fibers are widely separated -> entire bladder wall is thin -> offer little resistanceInjury -> ↑ intravesical pressure -> horizontal tear along intraperitoneal portion of bladder wallCystographic finding: contrast extravasation into peritoneal cavity, lining loops of bowel
Contrast enters the peritoneal cavity & outlines the bowel loopsSterileurineInfectedurine
CLINICAL FEATURESSYMPTOMS:Gross hematuria
Abdominal tenderness
Others: inability to void, bruises over suprapubic regionON EXAMINATION:Abdominal tenderness
