Abstract
Urinary bladder rupture is commonly due to blunt abdominal trauma rather than penetrating trauma. Intraperitoneal bladder rupture (IBR) is a concrete indication of surgical management. On the other hand, surgeons should perform surgeries in patients with extraperitoneal bladder rupture (EBR) solely in complicated cases. Uncomplicated EBR is managed conservatively. Laparoscopic repair is safe and effective for the treatment of IBR. However, there are no contemporary guidelines on the application of laparoscopy for the management of EBR. Herein, we describe a case of combined EBR and IBR in a hemodynamically stable 45-year-old patient who sustained injuries after falling. Intravesical repair of EBR and intracorporeal repair of IBR with the bladder suspension method were successfully performed with laparoscopy. This is a rare case describing the feasibility of laparoscopic suturing for combined EBR and IBR in a patient with blunt trauma.
