Goal The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of urological complications in cervical cancer. Secondly, it looks at the urological treatment for these complications and their outcome. A distinction has been made between complications caused by the tumor itself on one hand and complications occurring due to treatment. Within this second group, a sub-division has been made between radiotherapy, surgical treatment or a combination of both. Methods Parameters are added to a database, which included patients who have been treated for cervical cancer in the AMC in Amsterdam from 2000 up to 2010. A minimal follow-up of 1 year was chosen for inclusion. Parameters were scored using doctors’ letters, operation reports, imaging- and endoscopic reports. Results 22.2% of all patients treated for cervical cancer suffered from a urological complication. 16.3% of the patients incurred a complication after the start of the treatment. Radiotherapy complications occurred after an average of 618 days. This is later than the 85 days found in surgical interventions (p <0.001). Of all treated urological complications 81% of the treatments ended up in a desired result. Conclusions A large number of patients with cervical cancer suffers from urological complications. A considerable share of these complications can be successfully resolved. There is a significant difference in time until occurrence of complications between treatment with surgery and radiotherapy. Due to the retrospective nature of the study results may differ from reality. A prospective study design is recommended.
