[Deferred repair of surgical ureteral lesions]

Our experience in surgical injuries of the ureter, as well as the therapeutic approach followed to repair them as expounded in this paper. Immediate nephrostomy following diagnosis, and restoration deferred a minimum of three weeks have provided good results, as well as it has allowed us to detect and achieve spontaneous restoration in one case. These reasons, together with the absence of technical difficulties during the second intervention, invite us to consider the reevaluation and deferred restoration--if appropriate--of the surgical ureteral injuries as a therapeutic approach from which a number of patients can profit.
