Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery is a common surgical approach.
  • Bladder trauma is a potential complication during laparoscopic procedures.
  • Early detection and management of bladder injuries are crucial.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old woman sustained unrecognized 12-mm trocar lacerations to the anterior and posterior bladder walls during operative laparoscopy.
  • The bladder trauma was not identified during the initial surgical procedure.

Findings:

  • This case highlights challenges in predicting, avoiding, detecting, and treating bladder trauma during laparoscopy.
  • Classic signs of accidental cystotomy may be absent or delayed, complicating diagnosis.
  • Trocar injuries to the bladder require careful consideration and management.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness and vigilance are necessary to prevent and detect bladder injuries during laparoscopic surgery.
  • Surgeons should consider the possibility of bladder trauma even in the absence of typical warning signs.
  • Improved techniques for intraoperative detection and prompt management of bladder injuries are warranted.
