Abstract

Injuries to the ureter and the bladder are common complications in female pelvic surgery. Unfortunately, they remain often unrecognized per operatively. Intravenous pyelography and renal ultrasonography are very efficient for post operative diagnosis. The indications of nephrectomy have became rare because of the efficacity of the procedures of plastic and reconstructive urological surgery.
