Abstract

Minimally invasive gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and gynecological procedures are widely used in the clinical practice for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Complications both minor and major are not uncommon with these procedures. Imaging plays an important role in the detection and optimal management of these complications. Familiarity with the clinical and imaging features of these complications by radiologists can help in their timely detection.
