My sisters dr nicked bladder during hysterectomy. stitched and placed stent. how serious is this?

Could be serious: bladder injury a complication of hysterectomy could be serious usually they leave Foley catheter for a while until the repair is healed the stint could be ifI the perforation was close to the trigone or the orifice of the ureter or the injury was actually in the ureter not the bladder for assurance see a urologist

Should be fine: You may mean placed "catheter"in the urethra.If there was just "nick"in the bladder if is stitched, Foley catheter left in for 10days to be sure nick is healed.To be v.sure,cystogram can be done before removing the catheter.Leaving a ureteral stent is only done if there was injury to the ureter or the area called trigone very close to ureter(it is v.unusual to injure this area in hysterectomy)

Here are some…: Incidental injury to platter or ureter during hysterectomy has been not uncommon and could be surgically managed safely usually with a good outcome. For individual detail, hasta surgeon for the specifics timely. To ease anxiety, it's useful to realize that life is a one-way street of accumulation, modification, and continuation. More detail? Ask the surgeon for detail timely. Best wish…
