Abstract
The close proximity of the lower urinary tract to the female genital tract makes urological complication one of the commonest types of complication after gynaecological surgery. Some of these are a direct result of urological injury at the time of surgery and are apparent either peroperatively or very early in the postoperative period. These have already been described in Chap. 12 and will be mentioned only briefly here. Other complications only become apparent with the passage of time, although some nonetheless are due to operation trauma.
