title: The "catheter bag" sign revisited: a simple way detecting bladder trauma during operative laparoscopic procedures.
abstract: Early detection and repair of bladder perforation reduce postoperative morbidity. We describe two cases of bladder perforation sustained during complicated laparoscopic adhesiolysis and discuss a previously reported simple method of detecting bladder trauma during operative laparoscopy.
