Bladder Injuries in Pediatric Age: A 12-Year Experience in a Tertiary Center

Although rare in pediatric age, bladder lesions can occur and have multiple causes, requiring a high level of clinical suspicion according to the mechanism of lesion and symptoms. According to our data, retrograde cystography is not mandatory, especially when other exams can give the same dynamic image. This, however, should be interpreted cautiously, given the limited sample size of this study. Laparoscopy seems to be a feasible option for diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment, especially in the setting of isolated and non-complex lesions in a stable patient.
