ABSTRACT

This paper reviews the case of a patient who underwent a cesarean surgery and re-entered with an oral way intolerance, postprandial emesis, abdominal pain and clear-fluid exit from surgical wound. After possible bladder injury and secondary chemistry peritonitis, the patient was taken to surgery where the diagnosis was confirmed, and the correction of bladder injury as well as peritoneal lavage were performed, it antibiotic therapy for three days and the patient had satisfactory evolution. Bladder injury is a rare complication of cesarean section with an estimated incidence between 0.0016 and 0.94%; but if it is not diagnosed intraoperative it can trigger a clinical setting of secondary chemical peritonitis, due to secondary irritation of the peritoneum. Chemical peritonitis is among the classification of secondary peritonitis. Within the pathophysiology, the mechanical, chemical or bacterial stimulus generates an inflammatory reaction, with progressive generation of exudate, leukocytes and fibrin deposit, which injure mesothelial cells, disrupt the defense and maintenance of peritoneal homeostasis, triggering serious complications, which can lead to multiple organ failure and death. The chemical peritonitis should be suspected with the clinical setting and the risk factors of recent surgical history and timely management should be instituted properly with correction of the cause, antimicrobial treatment, blood volume therapy and nutritional support, which leads to a favorable outcome for the patient and improves survival with fewer complications.
