Abstract
Gynecologic and obstetric procedures require careful dissection in to high real-estate regions in the pelvis and abdomen where many structures lie in close proximity: the urinary bladder, ureter, and bowel. Damage to one of these structures can cause significant morbidity. Recognition of the patient who has an acute complication of gynecologic or obstetric surgery on imaging can precipitate quick and effective medical management. Imaging can appropriately diagnose the underlying problem and provide critical information for the clinical team. In this review, we present acute complications of gynecologic and obstetric procedures and their imaging appearances.
