“…Our overall ureteric injury rate for the last 1,000 cases was 0.20% and that of Wattiez et al of 0.21% in their latter 952 cases compared favourably with the reported rates in AH of 0.24% from western Sydney [28], 0.20 and 0.40% from Finland [26,29], and 0.39% overall for all the AHs performed in the above reported trials [21][22][23][24][25].…”

We retrospectively analysed our first 1,275 laparoscopic hysterectomies for ureteric injuries. All patients scheduled for hysterectomy in two private gynaecological practices in Sydney and Adelaide over the past decade were offered laparoscopic hysterectomy using a linear cutter stapling device for securing uterine vascular pedicles. The stapling of the uterine vascular pedicles resulted in the injury of four ureters in the first 275 cases (1.45%), whereas in the subsequent 1,000 cases there was only one such injury (0.1%). In light of our data and the reviewed literature, we conclude regarding ureteric injury at laparoscopic hysterectomy that: in the early days it was probably more the result of surgical inexperience and technique development rather than instrument failure; in experienced hands and with a perfected technique the rate is probably no higher than for abdominal hysterectomy; in experienced hands the rate is probably similar whether stapling or bipolar diathermy is used to secure the uterine vascular pedicles.

“…Inevitably, surgery carries complications, some related to the disease process, some to the surgery itself and, while it would be ideal to be able to reduce the incidence to zero, this is not possible in practice. Attempts should be made to reduce the occurrence of avoidable complications [4], but this cannot be done without first obtaining an impression of the scale of the problem.…”

SummaryIn a retrospective study, all patients having anaesthetic procedures within a 3-month period were identified and followed up to establish if they had further procedures within a calendar year. The procedures undertaken on these patients were then identified to establish if a relationship existed between the procedures and what that relationship was. 11% of all patients returned for further procedures, 80% of which were within the same surgery speciality. In 1 the overwhelming majority, the subsequent procedures were related to the first either as planned courses of treatment or by complications of the surgery or the disease process. The relationship between the procedures and their time intervals is discussed.

“…Visual inspection is imperative to exclude significant ureteric injury. At a minimum, ureteric stent placement is prudent in most circumstances [55,56]. When ureteric viability is in question, UU should be performed [55].…”

The Consensus on Genitourinary Trauma continues this month with an evidence‐based analysis, by a team of experts under the chairmanship of Dr Jack McAninch, of current reports on the diagnosis and management of ureteric trauma. This is quite a unique document, and of interest to all urologists; not only as a consensus on how this condition should be managed, but also as a model of how to review current publications.
