The clinical manifestations, causes, and methods for the treatment and prevention of ureteral injuries presenting late after gynecological laparoscopic surgeries were investigated. Materials and Methods: The medical records of patients who experienced delayed recognition of ureteral injuries after gynecological laparoscopic surgeries in the present hospital between 2008 and 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: There are three cases of ureteral injuries which are diagnose-delayed, The incidence of the malignant tumor groups was 0.99%, and for malignant patients undergoing laparoscopic lymphadenectomy it was 1.3%. Conclusion: The main way to prevent delayed ureteral injuries is to avoid adhesion between the ureter and surrounding tissues as well as eliminate electrothermal trauma during laparoscopic operations. Surgical repair is effective for such patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
