Özet

Urinary tract injuries are important complications of laparoscopic surgery. The intraoperative diagnosis may be delayed, resulting in severe clinical complications, such as fistulas, in the immediate and late postoperative periods. A re view of 776 endoscopic procedures revealed 6 urinary tra ct injuries a nd postoperative complications during laparoscopy. We believe that surgical experience, intraoperative diagnosis, immediate repair of the lesion, and close follow-up are the main factors contributing to decreased morbidity associated with these injuries.
