Gynecological procedures can cause ureteric injury, with diagnosis often delayed post-surgery. Prompt recognition and repair of ureteric injuries are crucial for successful outcomes and reduced complications.

Area of Science:

Urology
Gynecological Surgery

Background:

Ureteric injury is a known complication of gynecological procedures, affecting 0.4%-2.5% of non-malignant cases.
The incidence is increasing with the rise of complex laparoscopic surgeries.
Risk factors include cancer, endometriosis, adhesions, and uterine enlargement.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the incidence, risk factors, types, diagnosis, and management of ureteric injuries in gynecological procedures.

Main Methods:

Review of literature on ureteric injuries associated with gynecological surgeries.
Analysis of injury types, diagnostic challenges, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

Injuries can manifest intraoperatively or postoperatively with varied symptoms, including asymptomatic cases.

Ligation, crush, laceration, avulsion, stretch, and devascularization are common injury types.

Early diagnosis via urological investigation is vital for timely intervention.

Conclusions:

Intraoperative injuries require immediate repair.
Delayed injuries can be managed conservatively in selected cases with increasing success.
Prompt diagnosis and successful repair lead to good outcomes and minimize litigation risk.
