(adverse event) abstract: Inadvertent cystotomy at laparoscopic hysterectomy – Sydney West Advanced Pelvic Surgery (SWAPS)

Conclusion: 
Inadvertent cystotomy is a recognised complication at hysterectomy. The rate in the SWAPS unit is comparable to that of other published series. Overall, there has been a decline in the rate of bladder injury, which appears attributable to more experience gained with an acquisition of increased skill levels and improved techniques.
