title: Complete ureteral transection associated with percutaneous lumbar disk nucleotomy.
abstract: A case of complete ureteral transection complicating percutaneous nucleotomy for disk herniation is reported. The ureteral lesion was contralateral to the percutaneous approach and was treated by intubated ureteroureterostomy, since complete section precluded endourological management.
