Dr. Aseem Pradhan, Dr Sushil Kumar, Dr Salomi Singh

Abstract :

Bowel and bladder related complications are not frequently encountered following gynecological surgeries. But due to close anatomical correlation with female genital tract, there are high chances of injuries. These injuries are however rare during cesarean delivery. It is estimated the bowel is damaged in about 1 in 1000 cesarean deliveries.[1] Similarly bowel perforation can occur during gynecological surgeries when risks like obesity, previous surgery and adhesions are encountered. We present 3 cases of gastrointestinal tract complication after gynecological surgeries.
