Serious urological complications from caesarean sections are rare, but significant bacteriuria is common, likely due to catheterization. Prompt treatment of symptomatic urinary tract infections is advised, avoiding routine antibiotic prophylaxis.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Caesarean section (CS) is a common obstetric procedure.
  • Urological complications, though infrequent, can occur during CS.
  • Significant bacteriuria and symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs) are potential post-CS issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence and types of urological complications following caesarean sections.
  • To identify risk factors and preventative measures for urological issues post-CS.
  • To evaluate the necessity of routine antibiotic prophylaxis for UTIs after CS.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1438 caesarean section deliveries.
  • Documentation and categorization of all reported urological complications.

  • Assessment of bacteriuria rates and correlation with catheterization.

    • Main Results:

    • Five accidental cystotomies occurred; no ureteral injuries or urogenital fistulas were reported.
    • Significant bacteriuria was observed in over 11% of patients, linked to routine catheterization.
    • Symptomatic UTIs require prompt treatment, but routine antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended.

    Conclusions:

    • Serious urological complications are rare in caesarean sections.
    • Routine catheterization contributes to significant bacteriuria, necessitating careful management.
    • Individualized treatment for symptomatic UTIs is preferred over routine antibiotic prophylaxis.
