ABSTRACT
Abdominal and pelvic operations at Departments of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and General Surgery play an important role in ureteral, bladder and rarely urethral injuries. Fifty-nine patients with iatrogenic ureteral, bladder and urethral injuries were treated at the Department of Urology, Atatürk University Research Hospital, between 1985 and 1995. These injuries were urinary vaginal fistulas in 43 patients (vesicovaginal 33, ureterovaginal 7, urethrovaginal 2 and vesicovaginal plus urethrovaginal 1), ureteric ligation in 9, bladder laceration in 7. These injuries were treated by different methods. All patients were followed up by intravenous urography (IVU) and urine culture three months later. It must be borne in mind that iatrogenic urinary tract injuries are not rare. Bladder and ureteral catheterization must be performed to prevent these complications.
