Abstract

An intraperitoneal bladder rupture needs immediate surgical repair. Classically, the rule is to perform laparotomy and then suture the disrupted bladder wall. However, the advent of laparoscopic surgery offered new possibilities in treating intraperitoneal bladder ruptures, whether it is traumatic or iatrogenic. We report a case of laparoscopic repair in a patient with intraperitoneal bladder perforation, which occurred by an insult of a disposable trocar and was recognized postoperatively.
