On September 8, 2004, I went into the hospital to have cystourethroscopy and a deliberate bladder distension. I had been diagnosed with interstestial cystitis 2 years ago. The urologist did the same procedure he did in '02. When I came out of the anesthsia, i was screaming that my bladder and right lower quadrant had excruisiating pain. a nurse near me kept telling me that it was b/c of the distension and i was having spasms. i kept rubbing the area with a warm towel they gave me. after a few minutes, i was injected with pain medicine - which did not help - they then gave me a shot of morphine. the doctor told me that he wanted me to stay overnight b/c i had diffuse petechial hemorrhages. he wanted me on bladder irrigation for observation. i had a morphine pump for the pain. The next day the bleeding had stopped, but i still had the abdominal pain. After the nurse took the foley out of me, I was discharged by another doctor in the urology group. I had told that doctor that my abdomen hurt - he said it would b/c of the procedure. i then went home to rest. my doctor called me later in the evening to see how i was doing. I told him i had bladder pain abdominal pain. he thought it was post-op pain. during the night i awoken with severe pain in my abdomen, particularly on the right side. i had no bowel sounds. first thing in the morning i called my doctor and he asked if i could get to his office. i did so and he immediately put a catherer in. he sent me to the ER to be admitted and told me he wanted to rule out possible bladder rupture. I had a CT scan immediately and it showed that I had an extraperitoneal rupture of the bladder on the right side with extravasation of contrast in the pelvis. The doctor suggested a conservative program of a morphine pump, hospitalization for a few days, antibiotics, and long-term indwelling Foley cathereization for one month follwed by a cystogram prior to my voiding trial and then another bladder scan. he told my family and myself that the majority of extraperitoneal bladder rupture are effectively managed non-operatively. .. on this upcoming wednesday i go to have my cystogram and then on Friday, hopefully, the removal of the foley. .. my question, is the doctor responsible for the rupture and is there a case?
Thank you,
Tonice
