Spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture is rare, with surgery being the usual repair. This case shows conservative management with a urinary catheter for one month can be effective for stable patients without peritonitis.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture is an uncommon urological emergency.
- Surgical repair is the standard treatment for bladder rupture.
- Conservative management is rarely considered for such cases.
Observation:
- A 43-year-old male presented with lower abdominal pain and distension.
- Cystoscopy revealed a ruptured and thin-walled bladder.
- The patient had no signs of peritonitis or sepsis.
Findings:
- Conservative management using a urinary catheter for one month was successfully implemented.
- The patient recovered well with no complications.
Implications:
- Conservative treatment with a urinary catheter may be a viable option for select patients with spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture.
- This approach warrants consideration for hemodynamically stable patients without peritonitis or sepsis.
