Causes of injuries • Hysterectomy open / Laparascopy – Bladder/ureteric • Caesarian section C. Surgery for endometriosis/PID/Malignancy D. Obstructed Labour-Bladder and urethra E. Anterior Colporraphy F. Sling Surgery
Urological injuries • Bladder injury leading to V.V.F. • Ureteric injuries unilateral leading to ureterovaginal fistula or ureteric stricture • Bilateral ureteral injury leading to uremia/urinary ascites
Symptoms/Presentation • Silent • Haematuria • Urine leak per vagina - immediate / delayed • Fever • Sepsis • Flank pain • Vomiting • Urinary ascites, Ileus
Intraoperative detection • Excessive watery ooze • Routine indigo carmine test • Methylene blue • Role of intra op cystoscopy.
Immediate post-op detection • Urine leak per vagina • Urine leak in the wound • Leukocytosis, azotemia, acidosis • Creatinine levels of the drain fluid
Delayed detection • Hydroureteronephrosis • Nonfunctioning kidney • Urinary fistulae
Investigations • Ultrasound scan of abdomen • I.V.U. X ray • CT with contrast • Antegrade Nephrostogram • Retrograde Ureterogram • MCU • Cystoscopy & methylene blue test
USG showing hydroureteronephrosis secondary to ureteric stricture
Management • D.J.Stenting • End to end anastomosis • Ureteric reimplantation • Psoas hitch/boari flap • Ileal ureter • V.V.F. Repair
Boari flap • Tongue shaped flap from the Urinary Bladder • Ureter is anastomosed to the tubularised bladder flap over a DJ stent
