The diagnosis and management of ureteric injury after laparoscopy

Abstract

The number of ureteric injury cases has increased in gynecological surgery. We reviewed the literature concerning the incidence of ureteric injury and the recognition and management of the ureteric injury with the controversy of delayed management of ureteric injury. To reduce the morbidity of ureteric injury, gynecologists should be aware of and familiar with the pelvic wall anatomy, the site that is most susceptible to injury. They should also have knowledge about the prevention and management of ureteric injury.
