Injury to the ureter is a potentially devastating complication of modern surgery. The ureters are most often injured in gynecologic, colorectal, and vascular pelvic surgery. There is also potential for considerable ureteral injury during endoscopic procedures for ureteric pathology such as tumor or stones. We are presenting this case of bilateral ureteric injury in 50 years old female on account of its rarity and its successful management.

Abstract


Injury to the ureter is a potentially devastating complication of modern surgery. The ureters are most often injured in gynecologic, colorectal, and vascular pelvic surgery. There is also potential for considerable ureteral injury during endoscopic procedures for ureteric pathology such as tumor or stones. We are presenting this case of bilateral ureteric injury in 50 years old female on account of its rarity and its successful management.
