Delayed dehiscence of repaired bladder rupture.
A case of dehiscence of a previously repaired bladder rupture occurring 3 years after the original repair is reported. There was no obvious predisposing cause to this event. As this occurrence is very rare, it brings into question the need for long-term review of patients with conservatively treated bladder rupture.
