Abstract:
The urinary bladder is seldom injured by external forces, as it is located in the pelvic cavity, behind the symphysis pubis, and protected by the bony pelvis. Gynecological procedures are a major cause of bladder injury. Herein, a case of extraperitoneal bladder rupture, identified 6 days after vaginal delivery in a 27-year-old woman, with no history of cesarean section or pelvic surgery, and who was cured of the bladder rupture using conservative treatment with the indwelling of a urethral Foley catheter, is reported.
