Case #2 -
An 80 year old with confusion after an MVC

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
12.) What is the management of extraperitoneal bladder rupture? Of intraperitoneal rupture?

Most bladder injuries rupture extraperitoneally. These may be managed by simple catheterization for 7-10 days followed by repeat cystogram to confirm closure of the injury. Intraperitoneal injuries require operation.
