Analysis of a clinical case of managing a patient with intraoperative bladder injury

Abstract

To analyze a clinical case of successful treatment of a patient with intraoperative bladder injury.
 The results of examination and treatment of patient S., 39 years old, were studied. The reasons for iatrogenic bladder injury in this clinical case were two surgeries on the bladder in childhood, a pronounced adhesive process of the small pelvis, and the inability to foresee the atypical localization of the bladder welded to the anterior abdominal wall. A pronounced adhesive process might also be caused by endometriosis, which had not been diagnosed and treated in this patient.
 Timely referral of the patient to a gynecologist for a check-up with ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs would have allowed to reveal endometriosis, timely treat it and avoid the formation of a large endometrioid cyst, which required surgical treatment. In this clinical case attention is drawn to the lack of an interdisciplinary approach to the management of this patient, defects in dispensary supervision. Despite the complication occurred, performing the stages of operation together with an urologist, adequately prescribed postoperative therapy for the prevention of recurrence of endometriosis, rehabilitation in the urology department made a favorable course of the postoperative period possible, bladder function was restored and clinical manifestations of endometriosis were controlled.
