Abstract:
Female patient with multiple episodes of pelvic surgery and with radical cystopathy, treated by Neodymium: YAG laser photocoagulation with haemostatic purposes. During the post-operative she developed intestinal perforation with fatal evolution. The cases described on this serious and infrequent complication of laser endovesical application are reviewed, commenting the technical and anatomical elements that justify it.
