Abstract

We report a case of a patient with a secondary injury of external iliac artery and vein in the L4-L5 laminectomy and discectomy course. An immediately vein suture and ilio-iliac by-pass with Dacron was made. In the postoperative a iatrogenic lumbar ureter section was discovered and treated with renal autotransplantation. We review the options described in the literature in the management of these complex ureteral injuries.
