- Corriere JN Jr, Sandler CM.
- J Trauma. 1986 Sep;26(9):830-3.
-
Rationale for inclusion: This series of 111 patients with bladder injury recommends closure of intraperitoneal bladder injuries with drainage either via urethral or suprapubic catheters, with successful management of extraperitoneal bladder injuries requiring catheter drainage only.

-
Rationale for inclusion: A descriptive case series of 51 patients with bladder trauma from the 1970s is presented in this paper, recommending rapid resuscitation and prompt diagnosis by cystography.
