| Summary: | Urinary tract surgical interventions are complex end followed by frequent complications which in some cases become fatal. The recent advances on the surgical techniques during the last few years changed the prognosis of this patient reducing the rate of complications in meaningful way. Radical nephrectomy, partial resection of the kidney, urinary derivations and also endoscopic procedures on the bladder and the prostate can be followed from vascular, urological or gastrointestinal complications. The task of the radiologist is mainly to ready recognize the post-surgical complications and to differentiate them from the normal post-operative aspects, but in order to make this the anatomical modifications and the normal post-operative radiological aspects must be known so as to direct the diagnosis using the most appropriate imaging method.
