Abstract:
"Abstract: Bladder trauma is caused by a direct blow to the distended bladder, severe injury fracturing the pelvis, iatrogenic, or penetrating wounds. Early detection and diagnosis are key to successful management of cases, but omission or late reveal of bladder damage increase mortality and create long-term problems. A bladder injury may not always present with immediate obvious signs and symptoms, especially in a multi-trauma patient, who is also more difficult to investigate. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, delayed patients’ access to tertiary, multidisciplinary hospitals, increases the risk for delayed diagnosis and also increases the need for more specialists from different surgical and non-surgical areas to raise their awareness of less common manifestations of bladder trauma. We present a review of literature and cases of less common bladder damage from the perspective of a multi-disciplinary team in the University Emergency Hospital in Bucharest. Keywords: bladder injury, pelvic fracture, urinary fistula"
