LN is a feasible surgical option in patients with XGP although given the nature of XGP, it is associated with complications-nearly all manageable-which makes it a challenging surgical procedure. Advanced laparoscopic skills and experiences are needed. Dissemination of the disease is associated with the occurrence of more severe complications and conversion to ON. PD placement seems associated with shorter hospital stay.

We report 2 patients with ureteral injury after a simple total laparoscopic hysterectomy for uterine myoma with a complete resection of the distal ureter. One patient had unilateral injury and the other 2 patients had bilateral injury. The surgical laparoscopic repair procedure was carried out 3 to 5 days after the injury. Surgery involved intramural dissection of the distal ureteral stump to expose at least 1 cm of the ureter, percutaneous ureteral stent placement, elimination of tension between the proximal ureter and the dissected distal stump, end-to-end anastomosis, and reinsertion of the distal ureter into the bladder muscle layer, which was previously dissected for the anastomosis.
