Abstract

Twenty-four cases of ureteral injury are reviewed as to presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. Prevention and prompt primary repair of the injury are stressed. Ureteroureterostomy and ureteral reimplantation produce the best results. Nephrectomy is recommended only when potential of contamination of a vascular graft exists.
