[Bladder injuries--diagnosis, acute care and late results]

From 1962 up to 1980 82 bladder injuries have been diagnosed and treated at the University Hospital Innsbruck, Department of Urology. Excluding the iatrogenic bladder trauma, we report on the extraperitoneal and intraperitoneal rupture as well as the contusion. Diagnosis and acute management are emphasized. The effectiveness of the diagnostic and therapeutic regimen is supported by the lack of major complications and by the encouraging late results.
