“…Tarrass et al [4] identified 23 cases of renal failure following bladder rupture and these were mainly due to intrapelvic gynaecological operations, eosinophilic cystitis, blunt trauma to the abdomen, anatomical outflow obstruction and in association with indwelling catheters [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. The clinical presentation can be variable but often includes oliguria, acute kidney injury and ascites with or without peritonitis.…”

Complications associated with bladder-drained pancreatic transplant are not uncommon and include urinary tract infections and reflux pancreatitis. Bladder rupture with peritoneal leak is a rare complication after pancreatic transplantation and can present as an acute abdomen with rapidly deteriorating renal function. We describe the first case of a urine leak into the peritoneal cavity occurring after conversion from bladder to enteric drainage. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose such a complication.

“…Traumatic and non-traumatic causes have been reported in medical literature. Traumatic bladder perforations are known complications from gastrointestinal and urogynecological interventions, trauma (blunt or penetrating) to the lower abdominal wall, pelvic irradiation [2–6], and delivery-related interventions such as forceful forceps [7], vacuum device [8], and cesarean section [9]. But also long-term catheterization in the presence of urinary tract infections can lead to chronic irritation with weakening of the bladder wall integrity and spontaneous rupture as a result.…”

IntroductionThe management of bladder rupture depends on its anatomical location.Material and methodsCase report and review of the pertinent English language literature.ResultsA 56-year-old man with history of an anterior rectum resection with partial cystectomy presented with signs of acute renal failure, and later with a tender, distended abdomen. Work-up including serum and ascites biochemistry, cystoscopy, and CT cystography diagnosed urinary ascites. The small intraperitoneal bladder rupture was treated conservatively via continued urinary drainage under urinary antibiotic prophylaxis until closure.ConclusionA conservative treatment of a small intraperitoneal bladder perforation is possible under certain conditions.

“…The possible pathogenesis of bladder rupture in bladder cancer is precipitation of perforation on the weakened body wall by the tumour. Although the most frequent location for intraperitoneal perforation was the dome or the posterior wall of the bladder [6]. Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and urinary cystogram can yield diagnostic results [7].…”

Rupture of urinary bladder: a case report and review of literature

IntroductionSpontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder is a rare event. Patients usually present with features of peritonitis and diagnosis is usually made at operation. The morbidity and mortality rate is very high in these groups of patients.Case presentationWe present a case of a 47-year-old caucasian woman who was known to have transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder who presented with features of peritonitis. An exploratory laparotomy revealed free perforation of the urinary bladder. The perforation was closed. However, on the second post-operative day she started draining urine from the abdominal drain and was taken back to the operating theatre. The stitches in the urinary bladder had given off and she underwent radical cystectomy along with double barrel cutaneous ureterostomies. Peritoneal biopsies revealed disseminated transitional cell carcinoma in the peritoneum. She made a slow postoperative recovery.ConclusionPerforation of the urinary bladder should be considered in patients presenting with peritonitis particularly with a previous history of urinary bladder cancer.
