Abstract
Objective:
The purpose of this paper is to emphasize that despite the undeniable advantages of urological instrumentation (insertion of a ureteral catheter, double-J catheter; percutaneous nephrostomy, etc.), it also carries some risks and complications.
Methods:
We report three cases of iatrogenic urological complications due to use of endoscopic and percutaneous material.
Results/Conclusion:
Urologists, and particularly the residents, are reminded that iatrogenic complications may occur even in the easiest and routine procedures of the medical activity.
