Intraoperative consultation for the ureter.
Being called to the operating room to repair a surgically damaged ureter is an opportunity and challenge that requires on-the-spot decisions based on our training and experience and can result in restoring urinary tract continuity and avoiding secondary operations. A variety of functional reparative techniques are available; however, after consideration of each case in the context in which it arises, the best solution can usually be selected.
