  • Title: Management of ureteroscopic ureteral injuries.
    Author: Silverstein JI, Libby C, Smith AD.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1988 Aug; 15(3):515-24. PubMed ID: 3043870.
    Abstract:
    Ureteroscopy will continue to have a place in the management of renal stone disease and is invaluable to evaluate other types of ureteral lesions. Although ureteroscopy can be performed safely in most cases, it is invasive and there is a potential for ureteral injury. The well-trained urologic surgeon should be familiar with techniques to minimize the incidence of complications of ureteroscopy. However, faced with a ureteral complication, no matter the severity, the surgeon should have the ingenuity and expertise to restore anatomic integrity to the renal unit.
