On the casuistry of independent extraperitoneal ruptures of the bladder

In 1908, I described a case of spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture of the bladder. Since then, in Russian literature, I have come across only one article by Belitsky devoted to this issue. In this detailed article Belitsky describes a case of intraperitoneal rupture of the bladder, operated back in 1909 by prof. I. A. Praksin, and reports statistics of both Russian authors - including my case - and foreign ones. From the data of Naumann cited by him in the article, it is clear that in the Salgram clinic for 12 years, for 20 thousand patients, bladder ruptures were observed only in 3 cases - in 2 intraperitoneal and in 1 extraperitoneal; Rokitsky for 15 years gives 12 cases, among which in 8 there was an intraperitoneal rupture and in 4 extraperitoneal rupture.
