The incidence of urinary tract injury during hysterectomy: A prospective analysis based on universal cystoscopy

Urological injuries during obstetric and gynaecological procedures: a retrospective analysis over a period of eleven years

“…Carcinomas, cervical fibroid, procidentia, non-progression in 2 nd stage of labour were other risk factors noted in our study. Previous studies have shown higher incidence of urologic injuries in surgery for prolapse and procidentia 16 . All the three ureteric injuries happened in lower third of ureter and most likely were caused by thermal injury during laparoscopy.…”

Laparoscopic Gynaec Surgeries – A Retrospective Study

“…On analysis of these, we noted that amongst the bladder injuries, 3 were in LAVH and 4 in the other group. In a study by Babak Vakili et al, there were 8 cases of ureteral injury (1.7%) and 17cases of bladder injury (3.6%) There was no difference in the rate of bladder injury among TAH, TVH, and LH (2.5% vs. 6.3% vs. 2.0%, respectively; P = .123), although there was a trend toward a higher incidence of bladder injury with vaginal hysterectomy 17 .…”

Incidental diagnosis of asymptomatic unilateral complete duplication of ureter during total laparoscopic hysterectomy

“…In our case throughout the surgery we were maintaining the anatomical orientation of course of both the ureter with respect to uterus and it peristalsis was also noted although this alone should not be viewed as confirmation of ureteral integrity as peristalsis may occur despite injury. 14 This also allows early recognition of injury, should it occur. Confirmatory measures for further reorientation include palpation of the ureters and bladder, bladder back-filling, administration of intravenous (IV) dye, cystoscopy, and retrograde pyelography.…”
