Abstract

Iatrogenic ureteric injuries are a relatively common complication of pelvic and gynecological surgeries which, if left untreated, could lead to medical and legal issues. Therefore, reconstruction of the ureter is still regarded as requiring a sophisticated approach which demands a specialist urologist. This case involves a post-hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy 46-year-old woman who presented with a bilateral ureteric injury. A left Boari flap and right Lich-Gregoir ureteroneocystostomy with psoas hitch was performed for the correction of the bilateral long segment defect.
