    AbstractThis paper seeks to study the clinical presentation and emergency treatment of bladder rupture associated with uterine rupture at delivery. From June to December 2009, three cases of rupture of the uterus involving maternal bladder during labor at Revolutionary Hospital at Hodeidah, Yemen were reviewed. Intraoperatively, it appeared that the posterior wall of the bladder and the anterior wall of the uterus had ruptured; the laceration of the posterior bladder wall was closed in two layers. Of the patients who underwent the operations, one patient developed vesicovaginal fistula, which was repaired vaginally after 6 months, and the patient had a successful outcome. The others got uneventful recovery and there was no vesicovaginal fistula or hydronephrosis during follow-up. Uterine rupture and associated injury to the maternal bladder was rarely reported. It would be life threatening or would lead to long-term complications. Both urologists and obstetrician should keep bladder injuries in mind, as serious outcomes might occur during labor. Surgical treatment could be the preferred approach for this situation.
