Blunt injury abdomen with complete vesico-urethral transection in a female child

Abstract

Traumatic bladder neck distraction injury in children is an uncommon but potentially dangerous occurrence. Straddle injuries produced by a hit to the perineum as a result of striking an outside object with the power of one's body weight, as well as significant urethral trauma caused by a pelvic fracture, occur in both sexes. Urethral injuries in females are infrequent and are typically associated with pelvic fractures and anterior vaginal wall laceration. We offer a case report of a girl who had a full vesicourethral transection following a traumatic injury to the abdomen, as well as a rupture of the dome of the urinary bladder, and was treated with early urethro-vesical anastomosis and bladder closure. Patient recovered well after surgery, was continent, and had excellent urine flow rates.
