Abstract

Bladder herniation associated with pubic symphysis diastasis is a very rare condition. We report a case with bladder herniation after traumatic pubic symphysis disruption. The patient was treated with open reduction of the bladder and definitive internal fixation of the pubis. We used a bone allograft for closure of the diastasis and a prolene mesh graft for supporting the abdominal wall. We obtained a successful outcome during a 12-month follow-up period.
