Intraperitoneal injury

Intraperitoneal injury

Intraperitoneal injuries usually require open surgical repair to reduce the risks of urinary contamination of the peritoneal space. If the injury is small without significant fluid extravasa - tion, a period of catheterisation can be attempted in clinically well patients, but close monitoring is required and a cystogram at 2 weeks should confirm complete healing prior to removal of the catheter. If it has not healed, open re pair will be required. Summary box 83.9 Bladder trauma /uni25CF /uni25CF /uni25CF
