  • Title: Ureteroscopy: a new asset in the management of postoperative ureterovaginal fistulas.
    Author: Koonings PP, Huffman JL, Schlaerth JB.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1992 Sep; 80(3 Pt 2):548-9. PubMed ID: 1495734.
    Abstract:
    Iatrogenic ureteral injury, an uncommon entity, is primarily caused by complications of gynecologic surgery. This report describes a case of ureterovaginal fistula discovered 13 days after a vaginal hysterectomy. Ureteroscopy was performed, with passage of an indwelling ureteral stent for 6 weeks. The patient immediately became continent of urine and the fistula healed, thus avoiding the need for further surgery.
