ABSTRACT
Urinary bladder injury is a rare complication during caesarean section but its incidence is increasing due to growing trend in caesarean deliveries. In this case report, we reported a 32 year old pregnant female with previous history of caesarean section who presented during labour. Emergency caesarean was done and the case was complicated with bladder injury intraoperatively. The injury was immediately identified and was repaired in two layers. This case highlights the anaesthetic and surgical management of inadvertent bladder injury during caesarean section.
