Laparoscopic Repair of Traumatic Intraperitoneal Urinary Bladder Rupture / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

The development, over the last 10 years, of laparoscopy has revitalized interest in the minimal invasive technique as a diagnostic tool in trauma cases. Laparoscopy is advocated to lessen the morbidity associated with open procedures. In trauma cases, therapeutic laparoscopy has not been advocated due to potential missed injury, but several authors have reported laparoscopic repairs of simple intra-abdominal injuries. We report a case of intraperitoneal bladder rupture treated with laparoscopy.
