    Journal: J Minim Invasive Gynecol; 2010; 17(4):468-72. PubMed ID: 20580902.
    Abstract:
    STUDY OBJECTIVE: To estimate the feasibility and surgical outcomes of laparoscopic ureteroureteral for treatment of distal ureteral injuries. DESIGN: Retrospective clinical study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: University teaching hospital. PATIENTS: Four women with ureteral transection or ureterovaginal fistula. INTERVENTION: Laparoscopic ureteroureteral . MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Median age of patients was 44 (range, 33-63) years, and median operating time was 110 (range, 85-150) minutes. There were no conversions to laparotomy. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. Follow-up ranged from 20 to 46 months. All patients have been asymptomatic, and follow-up intravenous pyelograms and ultrasound examinations have been normal. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic ureteroureteral anastomosis is an alternative surgical option in women with distal ureteral injuries during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
