Abstract

Five consecutive patients with 7 ureteral injuries found after gynecological operations were treated conservatively. The complications ensuing this type of management are reported briefly. Twenty more consecutive patients with 27 ureteral injuries were treated immediately after diagnosis and definitively. Important points of technique are 1) little attempt to stay extraperitoneally, 2) sacrifice of all abnormal ureter, 3) re-establishment of ureteral continuity between a normal ureter and the bladder by usual means, 4) peritoneal closure only when easy, 5) adequate drainage and 6) use of antibiotics. The results obtained were excellent. Early and définitive treatment of ureteral injuries found after gynecological operations seems to be the safest and easiest type of management in all cases.
