[Stages of diagnosis and surgical treatment for combined bladder injuries]

62 case histories of patients with bladder injuries who were admitted in the Department of Urology and Emergency Surgery of the Republican Scientific Center of Emergency Medicine (RRCEM) from 2001 to 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. 15 (24.2%) patients with hematuria or urethremorrhagia were admitted in the emergency room within an hour after the injury onset. Three (4.8%) patients were hospitalized in the period 1-3 h since injury onset, 12 (19.3%) patients since 3-6 hours, 5 (8.1%) - since 6 to 12 h, 16 (25 8%) patients - since 12 to 24 hours, and 11 (17.7%) patients - after 24 hours. Concomitant injury of the bladder with fractures of the pelvic occurred in 21 (33.8%) cases. At the time of admission in the emergency room, I-II degree traumatic shock was diagnosed in 37 (60%) of patients, III-IV degree traumatic shock - in 11 (17,7%). All 62 patients had a complete rupture of the bladder, 37 (59.6%) of patients had intraperitoneal rupture, 23 (37.1%) - extraperitoneal rupture, and only 2 (3.3%) - mixed rupture. Strict adherence to the RRCEM algorithm of diagnosis and treatment of patients with bladder injuries have substantially improved the efficiency of complex of medical and diagnostic measures and improved the outcomes of this group of patients - mortality was 12.9%.
