Genitourinary system

Abstract

A comprehensive overview of gynecological and urological surgical imaging is beyond the scope of this book. This chapter will focus on areas of genitourinary imaging applicable to abdominal and pelvic surgery in general, namely, urinary diversions and iatrogenic injuries to the urinary tract. Urinary diversions can be encountered as part of gastrointestinal, urological, or gynecological procedures, particularly oncological surgery within these disciplines. Complications affecting genitourinary structures can arise secondary to any intra-abdominal or pelvic surgery, and therefore imaging features of ureteric and bladder injuries will also be discussed.
