A review of 42 cases of iatrogenic ureteral injuries treated at the Department of Urology in Lund is presented. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy and blood supply of the ureter is necessary to avoid damage to the ureter during surgery. If, however, such injuries occur, early diagnosis is desirable. Several surgical methods are available for reconstruction. Of great importance is proper choice of the procedures to be used in a given case. The value of diverting operations (pyelostomy, nephrostomy) is stressed. Nephrectomy cannot always be avoided especially if the injury is not detected early. In order to evaluate the results of reconstructive procedures postoperative control with intravenous pyelography is recommended to enable early diagnosis of restrictures and thereby early reoperation.

“…Sampson (1902) gave a corresponding figure of 1.5 % at 955 gynaecological operations. Newell (1939) noted ureteral injuries at 0.41 % of 3 144 hysterectomies, while Hermann, Greene & Hayllar (1946) described such injury at 0.05 % of 7 %6 gynaecological operations. The last two series did not include operations because of carcinoma of the cervix.…”

Ureteral injury after aortofemoral or aortoiliac bypass surgery has seldom been described in the literature considering the large number of bypass operations performed. Some causative factors, such as the position of the bypass, are obvious while others are less clear. However, no attempt has been made to unify criteria to establish a management protocol. Of 154 cases of ureteral units with ectasia reviewed ureteral fistulas were present in 19. Radiological ureteral obstruction appears to precede fistula formation. Symptoms, time of diagnosis and treatment according to the predominant etiology have been discussed. Etiological (in varying degrees of importance), clinical and diagnostic criteria, together with a management and therapeutic protocol in which early and late lesions are clearly differentiated were established, while bearing in mind that not all radiological obstruction patterns correspond to true ureteral lesions.
