A report of a retained bullet in the bladder which migrated from an extraperitoneal injury

Genitourinary trauma secondary to a gunshot wound is uncommon as it only occurs in about 10% of cases. We present a case of a gentleman who suffered a gunshot wound to the pelvis. The bullet was originally extraluminal to the bladder; however, upon repeat CT scan eight days later, the bullet had mig...

description Genitourinary trauma secondary to a gunshot wound is uncommon as it only occurs in about 10% of cases. We present a case of a gentleman who suffered a gunshot wound to the pelvis. The bullet was originally extraluminal to the bladder; however, upon repeat CT scan eight days later, the bullet had migrated intra-luminally. We hope to show through this case that uncomplicated extraperitoneal injuries with an adjacent missile might benefit from early surgical exploration.
