title: [Lesions of the ureter in obstetric-gynecologic surgery].
abstract: The chapter of injuries to the ureter during obstetric-gynaecological surgery continues to be ignored in the literature published over the last decades, in spite of its prevalence in the practice. This has motivated our review and update of this issue. The interest of urological diagnostic procedures prior to surgery and conduit examination at any time during the operation exert some influence on the prevention of this pathology. Preoperative finding and reconstruction lead to better results, which benefit from the use of the urinary route, thus leaving the gut route and self-transplantation for exceptional situations. A new iatrogenic pathology has emerged from the most frequent use of gynaecological endoscopic surgery.
