Trauma continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in all areas of the world. Many life-threatening insults are to the vital organs or their blood supplies. Trauma to the genitourinary system occurs in approximately 10 % for all patients with trauma. Bladder trauma is considered the second most common genitourinary injury after renal trauma.
In the child, the bladder is an abdominal organ and as such is vulnerable to external trauma. As the bony pelvis grows, the bladder becomes protected from injury. Bladder injuries occur as a result of blunt or penetrating trauma and usually trauma to the bladder is associated with significant trauma to the pelvis and intraabdominal organs. Thus, morbidity and mortality are greatly influenced.Keywords: Urinary bladder, injuriesTurkiye Klinikleri J Surg Med Sci 2007, 3(21):25-33
