Prevention and management of iatrogenic bladder injuries in gynecologic and obstetric surgery

Abstract Iatrogenic bladder injuries are rare in gynecologic and obstetric surgical procedures. However, bladder injuries occurring during those procedures account for the majority of all non-endoscopic iatrogenic bladder trauma. Their diagnosis can be made intra- or post-operative with different approaches. Prevention and early recognition are crucial in reducing intra and post-operative morbidity and mortality. In this review we summarize the current evidence on epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of iatrogenic bladder lesions during gynecologic and obstetric surgical procedures.
