Q: Surgical cut to bladder during hysterectomy
asked by: Bdabobcat on April 23rd, 2009

My sister received a partial hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. Her womb apparently was twisted ans her intestines were entangled in her ovaries. There was also quite a bit of scar tissue. Ever since the surgery, she has been experience urinary leakage. The doctor today said that she believes that there is a cut in the bladder and inserted a cather to relieve pressure on the bladder. Unfortunately this is causing her considerable pain. Also, the doctor has admitted that she is unsure where the cut is. An ultra-sound has not turned up the location of the cut. They have sent her home in pain and leaking urine everywhere.

Is there an advice you have for us.
