[Bladder injury. Diagnostics and treatment].

Bladder injuries are caused by high-energy blunt trauma that disrupt the bony pelvis, a direct blow to a distended bladder, penetrating injuries, or various iatrogenic causes. When diagnosis is prompt and treatment adequate respecting the other possible injuries, complications from bladder injuries are rare. Problems may occur when the diagnosis is delayed. A systematic approach following the prescribed guidelines will help to successfully manage these cases.
