    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Ureteral injuries can result from various traumas.
    • Delayed diagnosis complicates management and impacts patient outcomes.
    • The Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center has a significant patient volume.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of ureteral injuries over a ten-year period.
    • To identify the impact of delayed diagnosis on patient prognosis.
    • To compare outcomes between immediate and delayed treatment of ureteral injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of medical records.
    • Analysis of 9 cases with delayed diagnosis of traumatic ureteral injury.
    • Comparison of outcomes with cases of immediate diagnosis and treatment.

    Main Results:

    • Nine cases of traumatic ureteral injury initially escaped diagnosis.
    • Patients with delayed diagnosis had a poorer prognosis.
    • A higher incidence of nephrectomy was observed in the delayed diagnosis group.

    Conclusions:

    • Delayed recognition of ureteral injuries significantly worsens patient prognosis.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential for preserving kidney function.
    • Early intervention strategies should be prioritized in managing ureteral trauma.
