Abstract
Iatrogenic injury to the urinary tract during Obstetric and Gynaecologic surgery can be a source of significant morbidity. Urologic injury during pelvic surgery is primarily a matter of prevention; should it occur however prompt recognition and appropriate management are essential. The most commonly injured organs are the bladder, ureter and urethra. Whenever anticipated, prior delineation of the course of the pelvic ureter by exposing its course and frequent visualisation throughout the surgery prevents most of the injuries. Three different cases of iatrogenic injuries at different sites in the urinary tract are presented here and their preventive and treatment aspects are discussed.
