“…The prevalence of this complication appears to be increased for reconstructive pelvic surgery compared with routine gynecologic surgery. The present study found the same bladder injury rate (%6), similar to the report of Lambrou et al (2). Intraoperative recognition of urinary tract injury is paramount in preventing potentially harmful long-term complications related to the injury.…”

“…It is therefore important to balance the potential benefits against the risks that may result when surgery is being considered for the treatment of these disorders. The patient population undergoing urogynecologic surgery includes women who are often older, have undergone previous pelvic surgery, and have comorbidities (2). Therefore, we have to manage the problems very carefully especially in urogynecologic patient population.…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of perioperative complications in women who undergo urogynecologic surgery. STUDY DESIGN:A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent urogynecologic surgery between January 2014 and January 2016 was performed. The type of surgeries and significant perioperative complications were recorded. Intraoperative complications included, injury of nerves, bowel, bladder or ureter, intraoperative blood transfusion, conversion to laparotomy and anesthesia-related events. RESULTS:The sample included 120 consecutive women who underwent urogynecological surgeries. The mean age of the patients was 53 (range, 34-88 years). 46% of the patients had one or more of medical problems. 55% percent of the patients had previously undergone a pelvic surgery. 70% of the patients had surgeries by vaginal approach, 10% of them had by abdominal approach and 20% of them had surgeries by laparoscopic approach. The prevalence of complications was 27.5%. This included 11 intraoperative complications (6 cases bladder injury, 2 cases transfusion) and 21 postoperative complications. CONCLUSION:In conclusion, the number of women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and anal incontinence continues to increase, the present study provides useful statistical data for our country.
