Bladder Injury Repair
If the bladder is injured during childbirth or surgery, prompt repair and careful catheter care help it heal and protect long term bladder function.

Careful repair and recovery after a bladder injury
The bladder sits close to the womb and vagina, so it can occasionally be injured during pelvic surgery or a difficult birth. Most injuries are recognised at the time and repaired straight away with stitches. Others are found later because of leaking or pain.
Hearing that your bladder was injured is worrying. Careful repair and catheter care give the bladder time to heal.
Dr Jasdev explains what happened, how it was repaired and what to expect as you heal.
Symptoms understood first
Leaking, bulging or discomfort is assessed carefully, including how much it affects your daily life.
Simpler options considered too
Pelvic floor exercises, physiotherapy and other treatments without surgery are discussed alongside operations.
Recovery planned in advance
You will know what to expect after the procedure and when your review is due.
What this care gives you
- Prompt repair of the injury
- Clear catheter care instructions
- A check that the bladder has healed before the catheter is removed
How your care is planned
Each stage is explained so you understand the cause of your symptoms, your options and what recovery involves. You can take time to decide.
Confirm the injury and its size
Repair the bladder with layered stitches
Check healing with a dye test before removing the catheter
How repair works
Small injuries may need only a catheter to rest the bladder while it heals. Larger ones are repaired with stitches, by keyhole or open surgery. A catheter usually stays in for one to two weeks. A dye test or scan checks for leaks before it is removed. Injuries near the ureters, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys, may need a urologist’s help.
Who may need it
Women with a bladder injury during pelvic surgery or childbirth, or with leaking urine or pain afterwards that suggests an injury. It also covers injuries found at the end of surgery during routine checks.
What to expect
You will go home with a catheter and clear instructions. Drinking well and watching for signs of infection are important. After the catheter is removed, your bladder emptying is checked.

Your questions about bladder injury repair
What is bladder injury repair?
It is treatment of a tear or hole in the bladder, usually with stitches and a period of catheter drainage.
Who needs it?
Women whose bladder was injured during surgery or childbirth.
What tests are needed?
A dye test, cystoscopy or scan to find the size and site of the injury, and to check healing later.
Is it painful or risky?
