Vascular injury and treatment in gynecological tumor surgery / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

During gynecological tumor surgery, the incidence of iatrogenic vascular injury increases unabated due to the proximity of the operative area to important vessels in the pelvic and abdominal cavity, and the tumor growth is invasive and often adheres or oppresses the surrounding blood vessels. Intraoperative bleeding is related to many factors. Adequate preoperative evaluation, surgical field exposure, and skilled operation can effectively reduce intraoperative vascular injuries. Immediate recognition and prompt action at the occurrence of hemorrhage can significantly minimize life-threatening complications. This article reviews the common vascular injuries and treatment methods in gynecological tumor surgery.
