The gynecological surgery is the most frequent cause of urologic insults in the United Status and in many other developed countries in the world and the bladder is the most common site of insults in the urinary tract during gynecological surgical procedure. During the procedure several surgical insults take place which will further become urologic pathologies whose solution is only posible through surgery. A longitudinal and retrospective study was carried out, from January 2001 to December 2004, with all the patients being assisted by the General Urologic Department at Abel Santamaría Cuadrado University Hospital in Pinar del Río Province. These patients had urologic pathologies because of gyneco-obstetric surgical procedures. Results were shown in tables and these tables were applied chi-square test. The main results included vesico-vaginal fistulas as the chief pathological insults in vaginal and abdominal hysterectomies. The location of the fistulas were at post trigonal level, most of them were restored through abdominal fistulectomy with very rare post-surgical uneventful experiences.
