Urological instrumentation, while beneficial, carries risks. This paper highlights three cases of iatrogenic complications from endoscopic and percutaneous procedures, reminding clinicians of potential issues even in routine urological interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Devices
  • Surgical Complications

Context:

  • Urological instrumentation, including ureteral catheters, double-J catheters, and percutaneous nephrostomy, offers significant clinical advantages.
  • Despite widespread use and benefits, these procedures are associated with potential risks and complications.

Purpose:

  • To underscore the inherent risks associated with urological instrumentation.
  • To emphasize that complications can arise even during seemingly routine urological procedures.

Summary:

  • This paper presents three cases of iatrogenic urological complications resulting from the use of endoscopic and percutaneous materials.
  • The cases illustrate that complications can occur unexpectedly during common urological interventions.
