Urinary Tract Injuries in Abdominal, Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery: a Comprehensive Review
The primary causes of UTIs include direct trauma, thermal injury and postoperative ischemia. Advanced technologies like robotic systems and intraoperative imaging reduce risks but require surgeon expertise. Preventing UTIs in surgery involves meticulous planning, advanced intraoperative technologies and comprehensive postoperative care. Continued research into minimally invasive techniques will further reduce complication rates and improve patient outcomes.
