“…In fact, CT may be the first choice to detect iatrogenic kidney injury. 23 CT confers the added advantage of imaging the entire GU tract in addition to the kidneys. Moreover, CT angiography is very highly sensitive in revealing renal vascular injuries in even the most peripheral sites.…”

“…In their retrospective study, Kluner et al demonstrated the utility of multislice CT and CT angiography to localize ongoing bleeding and precisely identify target vessels before attempted minimally invasive embolization. 23 In one instance, multislice CT actually helped the radiologist detect a source of bleeding that would have been missed by renal angiography. Ultrasound was able to detect a hematoma in five of seven patients (71.5%), though it could not confirm ongoing bleeding or identify a target site.…”

Iatrogenic injury to the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, is a potential complication of surgical procedures performed in or around the retroperitoneal abdominal space or pelvis. While both diagnostic and interventional radiologists often play a central and decisive role in the identification and initial management of a variety of iatrogenic injuries, discussions of these injuries are often directed toward specialists such as urologists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and general surgeons whose procedures are most often implicated in iatrogenic urinary tract injuries. Interventional radiologic procedures can also be a source of an iatrogenic urinary tract injury. This review describes the clinical presentation, risk factors, imaging findings, and management of iatrogenic renal vascular and urinary tract injuries, as well as the radiologist's role in the diagnosis, treatment, and cause of these injuries.
