| Abstract: |
A growing number of treatments for genitourinary diseases can result in various iatrogenic complications. Multimodality imaging in the post-procedural setting is essential for early and accurate diagnosis to limit morbidity and mortality. We review common and uncommon treatment-induced pathologies affecting the genitourinary system via a case-based approach. We illustrate notable complications affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra induced by percutaneous procedures, external beam radiation, immunotherapy, laparoscopic/robotic pelvic surgery, and intravesicular BCG. Finally, we provide guidance on optimal imaging techniques for diagnosis and highlight the role of image-guided interventions for mitigation of complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
