| Popis: | Women with newly diagnosed gynecologic cancer will undergo treatment with surgery, radiation, or combination therapy. A considerable proportion of these women will develop urologic complications including urinary incontinence, urinary retention, radiation cystitis, ureteral stricture, or genitourinary fistula. Diagnosis is typically made with a careful history, physical exam, endoscopy, urodynamics, and imaging. Non-surgical and surgical management of urologic complications following radiotherapy is complicated by local tissue damage resulting in inferior success rates when compared to the general population. It is imperative that the patient and physician understand the complexity of treatment and manage expectations accordingly. |
