Why the study?
Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm usually occurs after deliveries or miscarriages and can cause massive or fatal vaginal bleeding, but cases secondary to uterine manipulator use during laparoscopic surgery are rare.
Highlights a rare but potentially fatal complication (uterine artery pseudoaneurysm) associated with the use of a uterine manipulator during laparoscopic surgery.
UAP may follow uterine manipulator use in laparoscopy; leaves open the incidence and need for preventive strategies.
A uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP), which usually occurs after deliveries or miscarriages, is known to cause massive vaginal bleeding and may even be fatal in some cases. We report a rare case of UAP secondary to the use of a uterine manipulator during laparoscopic surgery.
