Two-layer Laparoscopic Repair of Intraperitoneal Bladder Rupture in Blunt Abdominal Trauma: A Case Report With Literature Review

Bladder injuries are usually reported after blunt trauma to lower abdomen. The pelvic fracture is associated in >80% of the cases. All intraperitoneal bladder tear are managed surgically with open exploration and repair. In stable patients, with no other intra-abdominal injury, laparoscopy acts both as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. It results in faster recovery, early discharge from the hospital with good cosmetic outcome. We describe a similar case of intraperitoneal bladder rupture managed laparoscopically replicating the open technique of double-layer repair.
