Delayed spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder following augmentation enterocystoplasty is a serious life-threatening complication of uncertain etiology. Multiple factors are believed to contribute to the mechanism of bladder perforation. Ruptured augmented bladders share a common urodynamic pattern of high leak point pressure of the urethra, with sensory and mechanical tolerance of high filling pressure. This combination seems to be the main predisposing factor for spontaneous perforation. Other risk factors, including catheter trauma during intermittent self-catheterization, urinary retention due to mucus retention or noncompliance with the catheterization protocol, chronic infection, and decreased sensation of bladder filling, may play roles in the mechanism of rupture. Clinically, patients present with sepsis, abdominal pain and distension, ileus, fever, oliguria and peritoneal irritation. The diagnosis is made on low pressure cystography, although failure of cystography to demonstrate extravasation is not unusual. Aggressive surgical treatment consists of immediate exploration, primary repair of the perforation, drainage of the perivesical space, suprapubic cystostomy and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Longterm management includes a strict intermittent catheterization schedule, anticholinergic therapy and urodynamic evaluation. Failure to achieve a low pressure storage reservoir by conservative means entails an increased risk of recurrent perforation. In such cases further surgical intervention should be considered. We present a 21-year-old paraplegic man 5 months after augmentation enterocystoplasty who required operation because of spontaneous rupture of the augmented bladder. Spontaneous delayed rupture of the bladder should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in patients after augmentation enterocystoplasty. Early surgical treatment and subsequent monitoring of the low pressure reservoir are recommended.

BACKGROUND: Although unusual, but not rare, obstruction in the vicinity of the jejunojejunostomy in Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) can progress in a very short period of time to a life-threatening situation. METHODS: Over a 10-year period in 1,174 RYGBPs, we have seen seven instances of acute and subacute partial to complete small bowel obstructions in the vicinity of the jejunojejunostomy, which can lead to acute gastric dilatation due to obstruction of the bilio-pancreatic limb. Signs and symptoms of the obstruction may include tachycardia, oliguria, hypotension, severe epigastric pain with or without a palpable mass in the epigastrium, chronic bile regurgitation and bilious vomiting, and a possible increase in serum amylase. Laboratory data otherwise has not been helpful, and although a palpable abdominal mass may be diagnostic, the best tools have been radiologic, i.e. the acute abdomen series, limited upper GI series in the patients that appear to be only partially obstructed, abdominal ultrasound and probably most importantly, CT of the abdomen. RESULTS: In the seven cases presented, diagnoses included internal hernia, adhesions, an idiopathic spontaneous hematoma of the bowel wall and retrograde intussusception at the jejunojejunostomy. CONCLUSIONS: Since many surgeons who perform bariatric surgery are alone in their community, they should train their non-bariatric surgical colleagues and associates to be aware of these potential deadly problems.

Intraperitoneal bladder rupture is a rare cause of acute abdomen with bloody ascites. We report herein the case of a patient who had alcoholic liver cirrhosis and multiple liver nodules, and experienced acute bloody ascites and oliguric acute renal failure in association with intraperitoneal bladder rupture. A 33-year-old male suffered from acute abdominal pain and oliguria following consumption of a large amount of alcohol and after blunt abdominal trauma. He was also found to have acute renal failure and newly onset bloody ascites that rapidly subsided following transurethral catheter drainage. Computed tomography cystography revealed intraperitoneal extravasation of contrast from the dome of the bladder, suggestive of intraperitoneal bladder rupture. The patient received surgical repair and was discharged with full recovery. This case shows that it is important for physicians to be aware of the possibility of intraperitoneal bladder rupture after alcohol consumption accompanied with abdominal blunt trauma. In particular, it has diagnostic complications for underlying liver tumors.
