ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Laparoscopic gynecologic surgery has gained worldwide popularity in the past few years, but complications of this new technique do occur. We encountered three patients who developed major complications after laparoscopic gynecologic procedures including perforation of the sigmoid colon, urinary bladder, and ureter. We report the computed tomographic findings of these cases and the diagnostic dilemmas they posed.
