Abstract

During obstetric or gynecologic surgery, urologic injuries are the most common, with the most often damaged organ being the bladder. Previous caesarean deliveries, adhesions, emergent caesarean deliveries, and caesarean sections done during the second stage of labour are risk factors for bladder damage during caesarean sections. The majority of bladder injuries are identified during surgery, which is crucial because prompt identification and treatment are linked to a markedly lower patient death rate. While caesarean sections are the cornerstone of obstetrics, there is a dearth of evidence in the literature to support or refute particular procedures that are used in practice today. Urinary tract damage is a caesarean section complication that is infrequently documented in the literature. Furthermore, although bladder flap formation is a common procedure during caesarean sections, there is little evidence to support its use in lowering the risk of bladder injury. Thus, the current study set out to assess the causes, identification, and management of urinary tract injuries sustained after caesarean sections.
