22.2.2 CT-Cystography
CT-cystography is another valuable means to diagnose a bladder perforation and is better performed after intra-vesical contrast instillation. This has been proved to have an accuracy comparable to that of a conventional cystography in diagnosing bladder injuries [15] (Fig.22.2a–d).
Out of 234 patients, a level I trauma center found a nearly 100%-overall sensitiv­ity and specicity of CT cystography in diagnosing bladder rupture, and the addi­tion of sagittal and coronal images from the multiplanar reformation is particularly useful in identifying the site of the lesion [16].
Expert panels recommend either technique (standard cystography or CT-cystography) for bladder injury diagnosis when the patient presents with gross hematuria or pelvic fracture associated with microscopic hematuria, taking into account the advantages and drawbacks of each (time, cost) [5]. CT-cystography has the advantage to avoid confusion with overlying bone fragments caused by pelvic fractures, spine boards, or clothing artifacts.

22.2.3 CT-Urography
A CT-urography after intra-vesical contrast instillation, combined with IV and oral contrast for a whole abdomen examination is a time-saving procedure when one wants to evaluate associated abdominal viscera injuries and obviate the need for a separate conventional retrograde-cystography. However, a CT-cystography with only IV contrast and passive physiological bladder lling with catheter clamping is not recommended due to a high rate of false-negative results. Needless to say, the use of traditional Intravenous pyelography (IVP) is obsolete, especially for this indication [6, 11, 1720].

22.2.4 Intraoperative Means
In the setting of iatrogenic bladder injury during laparoscopic or open abdominal or pelvic surgery, the diagnosis can be readily made by the direct observation of the breach and the intra-vesical catheter. In unclear cases where the suspicion is raised by a sudden increase of intraperitoneal uid (urine), decreased urine output in the urinary bag, or unexplained hematuria, an intravenous injection of indigo carmine can be used or, more rapidly a retrograde intravesical instillation of diluted methy­lene blue [6].
22.2.5 Other Techniques
(a) “Sentinel clot sign”: This concept has been introduced to help in diagnosing
abdominal viscera trauma through CT observation of a focal high-density clot­ted blood adjacent to an organ, and showed high sensitivity and specicity in predicting an injury of that organ [21]. In this study, the sentinel clot was the only clue of injury in 9% of splenic trauma cases and 32% of bowel or mesen­teric injuries. A subsequent study has demonstrated the value of this concept in rening the radiological diagnosis of intraperitoneal bladder rupture following blunt trauma. Herein a sentinel clot abutting the bladder dome showed a high correlation with an injury at this level [22].
(b) Pneumo-CT-Cystography: CT scan of a gas-distended bladder followed by a
3-D virtual reconstruction has permitted to mimic a cystoscopy with high accu­racy in patients with small bladder tumors. This technique was therefore referred to as CT-cystoscopy [23, 24]. A recent application of this technique using 150–300mL of intra-vesical air insufation rather than contrast material combined with an Intravenous contrast-enhanced CT has been proposed for bladder rupture detection, as a so-called pneumo-CT-cystography [14]. Further studies with larger cohorts are required to conrm the accuracy of this technique.
22.2.6 Grading ofBladder Injury
In routine clinical practice, the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading system is not used for bladder injury as frequently as for kidney trauma [25] (Table22.1). However, it is of paramount importance for every Urologist to have a sound knowledge of the main characteristic of each grade of bladder trauma, as this impacts survival and can lead to fatal outcomes if incorrectly or not timely managed.
A radiologic classication system has also been proposed to help analyze the different patterns of extravasation, including the atypical ones, but is seldom used [26] (Table22.2). This grading is interesting with regard to the description of radio­logical features of the injury, but has to be interpreted with caution as the

Treatment ofUrinary Bladder Injury:

Conservative Approach, Direct Repairs,

andReconstructive Techniques Using Urinary Tract Tissues
Bladder rupture is a potentially fatal event if not timely diagnosed and repaired. Except for some cases of complex bladder base and bladder neck injuries, the repair of this hollow viscus is generally technically easy and less challenging than that of a kidney, ureter, or urethra.
The management of bladder injury differs from other urinary system
trauma in the following aspects:
– Renal trauma management is mainly conservative and intervention is only indi-
cated upon patient hemodynamic instability. When intervention is required, it rst consists of a minimally invasive procedure (angioembolization) and when an open exploration is required, it often results in nephrectomy, and rarely partial nephrectomy.
– Ureteric injury can be temporarily managed by urinary diversion with a percuta-
neous nephrostomy until further treatment. Sometimes an antegrade DJ stenting can be inserted without the need for invasive surgery. When surgical repair is necessary, it might require complex reconstructive techniques as discussed in the previous chapter.
– We will see in the next section of this book that urethral rupture is provisionally
managed with a suprapubic catheter until an elective repair is performed, which potentially involves complex techniques.
Contrary to the above injuries, and with the exception of a simple extraperi-
toneal injury, bladder ruptures have no alternative than urgent surgical repair.
Fortunately, bladder repair is generally a simple procedure and seldom requires complicated reconstructive techniques. Usually, the intervention is carried out through an open procedure and the detection of the bladder site injury is generally easy [1] (Fig.23.1). The laparoscopic approach is also an option for selected intra­peritoneal cases in expert hands, with the advantage of lower morbidity and a shorter hospital stay [2, 3] (Fig.23.2).

The principles of management of a bladder trauma are based on the anatomopa-
thology of the lesion, being either extraperitoneal or intraperitoneal, or mixed.
Bladder hematoma or rupture with an extraperitoneal urinary leak should be
rst addressed with conservative management consisting of indwelling drainage and prophylactic antibiotics. In large peri-vesical hematoma with distortion of the bladder, the catheter should be maintained until signicant hematoma resorption and near normalization of the bladder anatomy is achieved. Additionally, since the patient will frequently have an associated pelvic fracture, the catheter should be kept until he/she ambulates [4, 5]. More than 85% of bladder injuries kept on indwelling catheter heal by the 10th day, and nearly all heal within 3weeks [4, 6].
A rupture with intraperitoneal or mixed urinary leak calls for urgent interven-
tion which should be performed through a midline laparotomy incision, followed by

suction of the effused urine, watertight repair of the bladder breach using absorbable sutures in two layers (mucosa-muscular layers and serosa), and intraperitoneal drain. The two-layer closure remains very popular among surgeons despite there being no evidence of its superiority over a watertight single-layer technique [7]. Some rare cases of small uncomplicated intra-peritoneal bladder perforations that occur during endoscopic procedures (TURBT) can be managed conservatively under closed observation and antibiotic prophylaxis [7].
In the exclusion of bladder rupture with obvious massive intraperitoneal urine extravasation, and in the absence of randomized studies, experts have reached a consensus on when to proceed to surgical repair in extra-peritoneal rupture, either through minimally invasive or open surgery [48]:
– Inadequate bladder drainage, either due to catheter block by a clot or persistent
extravasation.
– Concomitant pelvic hollow viscus injury (vagina, rectum). – Severe bladder neck injury or avulsion. – Patients undergoing internal xation for a pelvic fracture should have a bladder
repair to avoid urinary extravasation and contamination/infection of orthopedic
implants.
– Finally, any patient undergoing laparotomy for extra-urological injuries should
have his/her bladder evaluated if suspicions are present (hematuria, mechanism
of trauma, low urine output, suprapubic pain/tenderness), and repaired.

– Other indications: all penetrating injuries, ureteric orice involvement in the
bladder injury, bony fragments compressing or incrusted in the bladder, and
failed conservative management, such as persistent urine extravasation, continu-
ous bleeding, or occurrence of an abscess.
Technically, domal and anterior lacerations can be directly repaired, but posterior wall, trigonal, and bladder neck wounds should be approached transvesically through an anterior midline book-opening vertical incision of the bladder, thus avoiding disturbance of the pelvic hematoma and a perilous peri-vesical dissection with risk of life-threatening hemorrhage.
The optimal duration of an indwelling catheter after bladder repair is not codied by current guidelines. However, a 7–14-day duration is commonly preached and observed. Placement of a suprapubic catheter should only be indicated by the pres­ence of complex bladder neck injury or associated urethral trauma where urethral catheterization is contra-indicated. It should not be a routine practice since it doesn’t add to the effective drainage of a urethral catheter in the majority of cases while increasing unnecessarily the morbidity and hospital duration [5, 8].
In the extremely rare cases of bladder injury due to iatrogenic injury where the bladder is pierced by a sharp and thin instrument, such as during oocyte retrieval, or SLING surgery for incontinence, there might be severe bleeding out of proportion to the needle passage. In these cases, intravesical insertion of a three-way catheter is mandatory to wash out the clots and proceed to bladder irrigation. If this manage­ment fails, the patient should be taken for cystoscopy under general anesthesia, the clot should be removed with an Ellik evacuator, and the bleeding sites (entrance and exit) be examined and eventually fulgurated.
In cases of bladder neck transection, an immediate suprapubic catheter should be inserted but there is controversy about the optimal timing of the denitive operation. On the one hand, an immediate repair might be justied because these injuries do not have a spontaneous tendency to heal. On the other hand, delaying the interven­tion for a few months (generally three) to avoid disturbance of the blood clot and massive bleeding is also a defendable strategy. The repair is performed after a sub­umbilical incision (midline, or inverted “Y” incision, or Pfannenstiel) [9]. The patient can also undergo a combined vaginal and transpubic approach while in a lithotomy position [10]. The retropubic area is approached after releasing brosis, and a segment of the pubic bone may need to be cut for better exposure of the atretic bladder neck and the proximal urethra [10]. The bladder is opened horizontally at the level of the bladder neck. A metallic sound is inserted retrogradely to identify the prostatic urethra end which is then longitudinally opened with a knife. The peri­urethral brous tissue is excised and the proximal ureteral end is spatulated. Now an end-to-side anastomosis is performed over an indwelling silicone catheter. If the

defect is too long, a T-shaped incision is made at the anterior bladder wall to create two well-vascularized aps (around 1.3–3cm long and 1–2cm wide). These aps are positioned downwards to augment the ventral part of the bladder neck and proxi­mal urethra. A safety suprapubic catheter (SPC) is replaced and a drain is left in the Retzius space before closing the abdominal wall [9, 10] (Figs.23.3 and 23.4).
