It was demo...

Due to close anatomical proximity of female urinary and genital tract, the ureter, urinary bladder and urethra are vulnerable for injury during gynaecological surgery. In a comparative observational study we evaluated 89cases having benign and clinically high risk gynaecological conditions requiring surgery, for the incidence of urinary tract involvement and to determine whether pre-operative a...

UNLABELLED Surgical wound infection is a serious and potentially catastrophic complication after joint arthroplasty. Urinary tract infection is a common infection that creates a potential reservoir of resistant pathogens and increases patient morbidity. We asked whether treated preoperative and postoperative urinary tract infections are risk factors for deep joint infection. We examined the med...
