Iatrogenic bladder injuries are rare in gynecologic and obstetric surgical procedures. However, bladder injuries occurring during those procedures account for the majority of all non-endoscopic iatrogenic bladder trauma. Their diagnosis can be made intra- or post-operative with different approaches. Prevention and early recognition are crucial in reducing intra and post-operative morbidity and mortality. In this review we summarize the current evidence on epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of iatrogenic bladder lesions during gynecologic and obstetric surgical procedures.
