Operative injury to the lower urinary tract
Abstract
Operative injury to the lower urinary tract is extremely common. Most of these injuries occur during the course of gynecologic surgery and involve the bladder. Urethral injury is most commonly found following urethral diverticulectomy or with urologic endoscopic procedures. Correction of specific injuries to the bladder and urethra are discussed.
