Abstract:
A serious uro-obstetric emergency is the concurrent rupture of the uterine and urine bladder following a protracted difficult delivery. In the absence of circumstances that would make the bladder more likely to cling to the lower uterine segment, the involvement of the urinary bladder in a primigravida is unique and relatively infrequent. We discuss a case of a 21-year-old patient who had an obstructed labor complicated with bladder and vaginal injury. At laparotomy, we found a pubic bone diastasis, a vaginal injury, and a bladder injury at the urethrovesical junction. As a result, bladder neck repair with urethrovesical anastomosis and vaginal repair with an external fixator were carried out for pubic bone diastasis.
