[Urologic complications after radical hysterectomy]

From 1981-1984, in cases of the carcinoma of the cervix uteri, 174 radical abdominal and 29 radical vaginal hysterectomies were performed. Prior the surgery, there were 6.4% of pathologic urograms in the patients. After it, applying the Wertheim method, temporary hydronephrosis was recorded in 32.5%, lasting hydronephrosis in 9.8%, and fistulas in 2.5% of patients. Lasting complications developed also several year following the treatment. Subsequent surgery due to urologic complications included 19 patients having been treated by a combined therapy, surgery and radiation. More complications were observed after combined therapy applied in 58.6% of cases.
