Abstract
We retrospectively analyzed 27 patients with urinary tract injuries who underwent gynecologic surgery from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2009. The type and timing of injury, diagnostic methods and management of urinary fistulas were evaluated. Twenty-seven urological injuries were incurred during 6,276 gynecologic surgical procedures, representing an incidence of 0.43%. There were 12 urethral injuries and 15 bladder injuries, with an incidence of 0.19% and 0.24%, respectively. Urinary tract injury was diagnosed intraoperatively in 15 patients (55.5%) and postoperatively in 12 (44.5%). Urinary fistulas occurred in nine patients (33%). Most of the urinary tract injuries occurring in gynecologic surgery had optimal results when diagnosed early and managed correctly.
