“…Urinary bladder injuries are rare in small animals as the bladder is anatomically located within the bony pelvis, but may occur when it gets extensively distended (Fletcher and Clarkson, 2011). Cystorrhexis due to dog bite (Raghunath et al, 2016), road accident (Bhuvaneshwari and Begum, 2018), neoplasms (Grognet, 1983) and accidental fall (Tanko et al, 2015) have been reported previously.…”

A three-year-old male non-descript dog was presented at District Veterinary Centre, Kannur with the complaint of difficulty in urination for the past few days. The animal was frequently trying to urinate but few drops have been voiding in each attempt. Based on the history, clinical, laboratory and ultrasonographic findings, the condition was diagnosed as uroabdomen due to cystorrhexis secondary to urethral calculi. The ruptured bladder was exteriorized by laparotomy and the urethral calculi were retrieved from bladder by retrograde uro-hydropropulsion through an urethrotomy incision under general anesthesia. The prescrotal urethrotomy incision was apposed and the ruptured bladder wall was repaired. Postoperative antibiotics and analgesics were administered. The skin sutures were removed on the 14 th postoperative day. The voiding was observed to be normal and the animal had an uneventful recovery.

“…Trauma of lower urinary tract is frequently recognized in veterinary patients and is the most common cause of uroperitoneum in cats, dogs, and humans (Aumann and Worth, 1998;Gannon and Moses, 2002;Rieser, 2005). In the previous decades, traumatic (blunt or penetrating) bladder injuries were considered to be relatively uncommon in animals mainly due to the anatomical position of the bladder, located within the bony structures of the pelvis and is protected from most external forces (Fletcher and Clarkson, 2011). However, as the bladder fills, it moves into the abdomen and makes it more vulnerable to be ruptured or injured (Bartges and Polzin, 2011).…”

Traumatic urinary bladder injuries in the recent times are considered to be of great importance in veterinary medicine, as they can lead to significant morbidity and subsequent mortality when diagnosed late or left untreated. However, the true incidence rates, absolute treatment recommendations and prognoses of lower urinary tract traumas are not available in literatures as the majority of specific information regarding lower urinary tract injuries in small animals exist as isolated case reports or small case series. Urologists may only encounter traumatic bladder injuries in their practice, because of the current modernization and human activities leading to increase in occurrence of the injuries. This paper reviews mainly the literatures and reports on the causes, clinical signs, diagnosis and management of traumatic urinary bladder injuries (blunt, penetrating and iatrogenic bladder traumas) to assist clinicians in this specialty. History, presenting clinical signs and laboratory evaluations are the diagnostic tools of bladder injuries and in predicting prognosis when treated. Despite presentation with nonspecific signs, haematuria and abdominal tenderness are the most common clinical signs of bladder rupture in animals. Early diagnosis and repair of bladder rupture offers good prognosis. Management of these conditions may require either solely medical or surgical intervention, while others will require a combined management intervention.
