  • Title: Gunshot wounds of the ureter: 5 years of experience.
    Author: Liroff SA, Pontes JE, Pierce JM.
    Journal: J Urol; 1977 Oct; 118(4):551-3. PubMed ID: 916047.
    Abstract:
    During 5 consecutive years 20 patients with ureteral gunshot wounds were treated at the Detroit General Hospital. Among the 19 patients treated surgically 4 unrelated deaths occurred and 3 patients underwent a second exploration. No kidney was lost. Our surgical technique involving a tension-free, watertight anastomosis and diversion is emphasized. We believe that better results are obtained with stented repairs.
