[Ureteral trauma during surgery for aneurysm of the subrenal abdominal aorta. Apropos of 2 complete sections discovered postoperatively]

Abstract

The lombo-iliac ureter is particularly exposed in surgery of the aorta, particularly for bypass surgery and cure of aneurysms. Two recent cases of complete section of the ureter were discovered post-operatively. Endo-urologic techniques offer a promising means of protecting the upper urinary tract in these procedures. Percutaneous nephrostomy and ureteral catheterism have also been discussed as have been ureteral endoprosthesis and double J ureteroscopy.
