title: Ureteral injury after laparoscopic tubal sterilization by bipolar electrocoagulation.
abstract: In bipolar electrocoagulation of the fallopian tubes, the electric current is between the tips of the forceps, which are visualized. Therefore, unnoticed burn injuries are uncommon. We describe a case of ureteral stenosis due to inadvertent burn injury, which was successfully managed conservatively.
