Abstract

Background: Bladder injury is a recognized complication of emergency cesarean sections, yet comprehensive studies elucidating its incidence and associated risk factors are limited.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from emergency cesarean deliveries performed over a three-year period at a tertiary care center. Cases with documented bladder injury were identified, and relevant clinical variables including patient demographics, surgical details, various risk factors, and obstetric history were collected and analyzed.
Results: Among the emergency cesarean cases reviewed (n= 12218), bladder injury was identified in 22 cases making a incidence rate of 0.18%. The majority of injuries occurred during the initial phase of uterine incision. Significant risk factors associated with bladder injury included a history of previous cesarean sections, presence of adherent placenta, and intraoperative adhesions. Distribution analysis revealed varying prevalence rates across different clinical variables.
Conclusion: Bladder injury represents a notable complication of emergency cesarean deliveries, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of associated risk factors and preventive measures. This study contributes valuable insights into the epidemiology and clinical correlates of bladder trauma in urgent obstetric interventions, emphasizing the importance of tailored interventions to enhance patient safety and reduce maternal morbidity.
