Suturing the ileal segment to the ureters
The staples on each side of the ileal segment are now removed or, as in modern practice, the isolated ileal segment can now be lifted up. The long arm of the T tube is threaded through the segment. This is ideally done by passing a soft bowel clamp down the length of the segment, grasping the tube and drawing it gently through. It is important to make sure that the tube passes in the direction of peristaltic flow, and as the T tube is threaded through the segment (Fig. 28.9) the edges of the platform can then be carefully sutured to

Variations in technique
Recently, the authors have performed all the stapling with the GIA stapling device. This simplifies the opera­tion, allows one instrument with replaceable cartridges to be used throughout, and improves the speed and cleanliness of the procedure.
Postoperative care
It has been the authors’ practice to maintain the naso­gastric tube for 3–4 days. It is then removed and the pa­tient allowed free fluids and light diet by mouth. Many surgeons now do not use nasogastric tubes but the evi­dence base appears to be low. The T tube is kept in place for approximately 10 days and is then gently pulled to see if it can be removed. If it does not easily release, fur­ther attempts should be made on the next 2 days, but then the patient can be allowed home with the T tube in place, and it is usually found after a short period of time that the conduit naturally discharges the T tube into the ileostomy bag. The patient will require intensive train­ing in the maintenance of the ileostomy appliance. This is performed by the stoma therapist once the patient is mobile and confidence is developed at this time.

The Babcock forcep is now inserted a short distance into the stoma and used to grasp the mucosa (Fig. 28.10). This process everts the end of the bowel, and the edge of the bowel which is now rolled back on itself is sutured first to the serosa and then to the skin edge so that a rosebud stoma is formed. The stoma appliance is put in place feeding the shortened T tube down into the back.

It is important to maintain good hydration so that a fast flow of urine can be maintained in the postopera­tive period. This will reduce the risk of clot formation blocking the ureters or the conduit itself.

Damage recognized at the time of operation
Bladder injuries
The most common circumstance for damage to the bladder is when the bladder is being separated from the anterior surface of the lower uterus and cervix during hysterectomy or caesarean section. If the surgeon is unsure about the possibility of an injury he should insert diluted methylene blue into the bladder through a urethral catheter and look for any leakage into the peritoneal cavity.
Damage to the muscularis
If the bladder is not entered but a ‘bubble’ of mucosa can be seen pushing through from the muscularis, all that is required is that the area should be oversewn with an interrupted or continuous Vicryl suture and as a pre­caution the bladder drained with a Foley catheter for 7 days following the procedure.
Breaching of the bladder wall
If the bladder has obviously been entered, the area should be clearly identified by placing Allis’s tissue for­ceps on the edge of the defect. The mucosa and muscu­laris can be sutured separately in two layers with a continuous suture followed by an interrupted layer using a Vicryl suture. However, if trauma is minimal, the repair can be in a single layer to the muscularis coat with a continuous or interrupted suture technique.
It is vital to identify the ureteric orifices if the damage has occurred close to the trigone or the site of entry of the ureters into the bladder wall. In these
The management of injuries to the urinary tract
29
There has been little need for major changes to this chapter since the last edition. Although injury to the urinary tract is one of the major concerns of the gynae­cological surgeon during routine gynaecological proce­dures, actual injury is rare. The surgeon should know the whereabouts of the ureters and bladder during any procedure to avoid being ‘a urinary tract neurotic’ and taking ridiculous precautions to avoid the ureters and bladder. These structures should be treated with care but not with the type of respect which results in never handling them.
Anatomical relationship
The source of the gynaecologist’s concern is the close relationship of the ureters to the cervix and the uterine arteries, and the retroperitoneal course of the ureter in the pelvis and its close contiguity with the infundibu­lopelvic ligament at the pelvic brim. The attachment of the bladder to the anterior part of the uterus and the necessity to separate the two structures often places the bladder in considerable danger of damage.
Predisposing factors
These are summarized in Table 29.1.
Traditionally, injuries to the urinary tract have been classified into those recognized at the time of operation and those which manifest themselves later in the post­operative period.

Incision of the ureter
It is rare to partially resect the ureter; more commonly, it is completely resected. In these circumstances the management is to anastomose the cleanly divided ends of the ureter, having first made the ends spatulate (Fig.
29.1).
The operation Identifying the site of damage The area affected is
exposed and the damaged area resected.
Making the anastomosis The clean ends of the ureter are spatulated (see Fig. 29.1), and sutured using 4.0 Vicryl over a ureteric stent.
Management of the stent The commonest stent used is the ‘pigtail’ Silastic stent (Fig. 29.2), which can remain in the ureter for considerable periods of time. The upper end of the stent is inserted into the renal pelvis and the lower end into the bladder. If a pigtail is used, no fixation is required as the ‘memory’ of the catheter will
circumstances, the gynaecologist would do well to call upon the assistance of a urological colleague to perform the repair.
If it is necessary to carry out a repair without assis­tance, the gynaecologist should open the bladder at its upper part, identify the ureteric orifices, catheterize them and proceed with the repair under direct vision.
Where the damage to the bladder has occurred fol­lowing irradiation, there is a significant risk of failure of healing and subsequent fistula formation. The interpo­sition of an omental flap may improve the blood supply to the area and reduce the risk of necrosis.
Ureteric injuries
Where it is suspected that the ureter has been damaged at operation, whether this be by cutting, crushing or in­clusion in a suture, then the ureter should be widely ex­posed so that a full inspection can be carried out. This is best done by separating the pelvic peritoneum from the pelvic side wall and exposing the full length of the pelvic part of the ureter. It is not necessary to separate the ureter from the peritoneum for its full length as this would merely jeopardize its blood supply. An immedi­ate repair of the damaged ureter gives a very good prospect of complete recovery without the need for further surgery.
Injuries to the pelvic ureter
Crushing injuries
These may be caused by crushing or nipping by tissue forceps or by inadvertent ligation. The management should be to resect the crushed area and anastomose the two ends (Fig. 29.1).

The operation Preparation of the ureter The damaged distal end of
the ureter must be ‘freshened’ by removing any necrosed or traumatized tissue. A short length of ureter is mobilized and the distal end drawn towards the bladder.
Assessing ureteric tension and bladder mobilization If there is any tension, then the bladder should be mobilized by separating it from the symphysis pubis, gently lifting the bladder towards the ureter (the psoas hitch), or by developing a ‘Boari–Ockerblad flap’.
The psoas hitch This simple technique involves suturing the bladder wall to the iliopsoas muscle on the pelvic side wall, thus elevating the bladder and shortening the distance between the bladder and the ureter to be anastomosed (Fig. 29.3).
The Boari–Ockerblad flap Where there has been sig­nificant loss of the distal ureter, this technique allows the gap to be bridged by bladder tissue and a satis­factory anastomosis to be achieved without tension.
unwind the terminal few centimetres and provide ade­quate fixation (see Fig. 29.2).
Extraperitoneal drainage The operative area should be drained to monitor for leakage of urine during the first few days.
Injuries to the distal ureter
This type of injury tends to occur in association with gynaecological surgery. It differs from injuries higher up the ureter in that it is often difficult to mobilize the ureter sufficiently to anastomose it without tension. In this situation the method most used to deal with this problem is to produce a new point of entry into the bladder; the damaged distal portion remaining can be either ligated or resected. The ureter should be im­planted using an antireflux mechanism which will require the bladder to be opened.

Bladder closure and drainage The bladder is drained with an indwelling catheter and the extraperitoneal space is drained with a suction drain.
The most important point to be considered when fash­ioning the flap (Fig. 29.4), is to be careful not to make the flap too narrow. It is extraordinarily easy to forget the relationship between the width of the flap and the tube which it must become. The flap is more readily per­formed with a full bladder and it may be worth filling the bladder before the incision. An oblique U-shaped incision is then made in the bladder wall and the distal end of the ureter is either sutured directly to the end or is tunnelled submucosally. Figures 29.4 and 29.5 show the technique for producing a flap with an antireflux anastomosis.
Direct implantation of the ureter into the bladder
Once the end of the ureter is clean and it has been decided that it is possible to implant it into the bladder, the first step is to open the bladder and confirm the site of anastomosis. Again, this is more readily performed with a full bladder. An oblique opening is then made in the bladder and the distal end of the ureter is drawn through it using two stay-sutures attached to its edges (Fig. 29.6). The edges are then sutured to the mucosa and two further stitches are placed to fasten the side of the ureter to the outer surface of the bladder in order to anchor it and counter any tendency to retraction. The ureter is stented and the coiled end left to lie in the bladder to be retrieved later using a cystoscope.

Frequently, it is not possible to bridge the obstructed or damaged length of ureter and more extensive proce­dures are necessary. These are entirely in the province of the urologist and will merely be listed here.
(a) Ureteroileoneocystostomy, or the use of an iso­lated segment of ileum to bridge the damaged length of ureter to the bladder.
(b) Transureteroureterostomy may be used if it is not possible to reanastomose the damaged ureter with the bladder or the urologist feels that the long-term problems of using a segment of intestine are not justified.
(c) Nephrectomy may be necessary if renal function is markedly impaired.
Radiotherapy damage
Where the patient has had irradiation to the ureter which is damaged, great care and skill is called for when deciding on the optimal method of repair. It is also im­portant to remember that the irradiation may have also compromised the blood supply of organs close to the ureter, particularly bowel; consequently, if conduits are to be produced, a segment of bowel outside the irradia­tion field should be chosen.
The gynaecologist must not be slow or too proud to ask for advice and assistance from his urological col­leagues; early recognition and management of damage to the urinary tract is in the patient’s best interests.

Buchsbaum and Schmidt’s Gynecologic and Obstetric Urology, 2nd edn, published by W.B. Saunders, Philadelphia,
in 1982, is a valuable source of information on many urologi­cal problems found in obstetrics and gynaecology. The sec­tions on the various traumas to the urinary tract are well hidden in the text but are worth searching for, drawing the reader’s attention to many valuable diagnostic and manage­ment principles.

WF Hendry, in a review in Progress in Obstetrics and Gynae­cology, vol. V, John Studd (ed.), published by Churchill
Livingstone, has summarized many thoughts on the subject.
Postoperative care
Prophylactic antibiotics specific for bacteria affecting the urinary tract should be used. The ureteric catheter should be maintained for at least 7 days, preferably longer.
An intravenous urogram with special views of the lower ureter will confirm the security of the anastomosis.
Ureteroureteral anastomosis This may be necessary if it is impossible to bridge the gap between the end of the damaged ureter and the bladder. The damaged ureter is cleaned and mobilized; it is then brought across the mid-line without tension and directly anastomosed into the side of the remaining ureter. Ureteric stents should be used to support the anastomosis until healing has occurred.
Ileal conduit In the rare circumstances where both ureters are damaged and reimplantation into the bladder cannot be achieved, it is preferable to produce a urinary diversion such as an ileal conduit rather than make a skin ureterostomy.
Management of the delayed diagnosis of urinary tract damage
The management of the late diagnosed urinary tract damage is mainly the area of expertise of the experi­enced urologist; the gynaecologist should not delay in calling for his colleague’s advice as further delay will seriously risk the function of the kidney.
The diagnosis of urinary tract damage may be made following the development of symptoms such as urine leakage if a fistula has occurred or loin or ureteric pain where obstruction to the outflow develops.
The management of urinary fistulae is dealt with in Chapter 15.
The management of obstructive damage to the ureters can be divided into two phases: drainage and repair. Drainage of the obstructed renal tract is best performed by radiologically guided percutaneous nephrostomy. Ureteric catheters can sometimes be passed beyond the point of obstruction, especially when the blockage is due to extrinsic pressure.
Repair of the damage to the ureter needs to be carried out if the obstruction could not be relieved by a stent.
