Background: Pediatric bladder injuries, though uncommon, typically result from blunt trauma, often associated with motor vehicle collisions. While most bladder injuries are linked to pelvic fractures, this association may be less common in children due to anatomical differences. Bladder injuries are classified as extraperitoneal, intraperitoneal, or combined, with intraperitoneal injuries being rarer but more prevalent in children due to their higher abdominal bladder position.

Article Synopsis
  • - The case study highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and personalized management in treating complex bladder injuries, specifically a patient with a significant Grade V injury.
  • - In this instance, conservative treatment failed, leading to a decision for a less invasive procedure that involved using an external catheter, allowing the bladder to heal without exposure to urine.
  • - The successful outcome of this innovative approach demonstrates that careful monitoring and customized treatment plans can lead to positive recovery even in challenging cases of bladder trauma.

Imaging studies revealed persistent bladder leaks despite primary and, later, secondary surgical repair. A combination of novel non-surgical techniques, that is, urinary diversion, negative pressure dressings, and waiting proved beneficial in our case, and led ultimately to complete clinical and radiological resolution of the fistula.
