[Ruptures of the bladder. Clinics, treatment, controversies].
Since the bladder is well protected by the bony pelvis, it is seldom injured. However, the initial trauma may be a major one, and associated lesions are frequent, especially in case of extraperitoneal ruptures. Retrograde cystography still remains an essential examination, for which the technique must be straightforward. This work is a review of our cases of pure bladder rupture from 1981 to 1992. Investigations, treatment, and our results are discussed, and the literature is reviewed. In the last few years, we have been favoring a conservative approach of extraperitoneal lesions.
