Abstract

Intraperitoneal rupture of urinary bladder is a complication faced during improper technique and forceful Foley’s catheterisation. Peritonitis following intraperitoneal bladder rupture is a rare complication seen and theoretically noted. In this case report, we see how a forceful Foley’s catheterisation led to intraperitoneal bladder rupture and thus, leading to peritonitis.
 


Keywords : Foley’s catheterisation; Intraperitoneal bladder rupture; Urinary bladder rupture peritonitis.
