    Summary

    Iatrogenic ureteral injuries, often from gynecological surgery, require timely diagnosis and management. Percutaneous nephrostomy and ureteral stenting offer successful primary treatment for many delayed ureteral injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Iatrogenic ureteral injuries are a complication of surgical procedures.
    • Gynecological operations are a frequent cause of these injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the diagnosis and management of iatrogenic ureteral injuries.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment modalities.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 27 patients with iatrogenic ureteral injuries over 6 years.
    • Analysis of diagnostic timing, surgical procedures, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Gynecological surgery was the most common cause (52%).
    • Delayed diagnosis occurred in 23 of 27 patients.
    • Percutaneous nephrostomy or ureteral stenting was successful in 73% of primary treatments.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for iatrogenic ureteral injuries.
    • Percutaneous nephrostomy and ureteral stenting are effective primary treatments for delayed injuries.
    • Nephrectomy may be required in complex cases or due to comorbidities.
