[Ureteral war injuries. Apropos of 3 African cases].
The war ureteral gunshot wounds (W.U.G.W.) are, in practice, scarce but not an exception. They are to be suspected in every war abdominal injury. Urethral catheterization, microscopic hematuria research, simple X-Ray and I.V.P. have to be undertaken; but it's never easy in wartime circumstances. Investigation must be carried out during intervention: ureteral exploration in case of retroperitoneal hematoma or wound. Three observations illustrate these main difficulties. Unfortunately diagnosis is often done in post-operative time when a complication arises. The treatment is now well known: adequate debridement, anastomosis or reimplantation and drainage.
