The early and aggressive repair of iatrogenic ureteric injuries.
Sixty-two iatrogenic injuries of the ureter in 52 patients have been studied over a 15-year period. A plea is made for early recognition in post-operative urinary fistulae and early operative repair. The results of 41 cases treated by the Boari-Ockerblad method are reported without post-operative obstruction or failure.
