title: Uretero-urinary fistulae in obstetrics: report of three cases.
abstract: Most urinary fistulae of obstetric origin involve the bladder. The ureter is rarely injured. The authors report three cases of uretero-uterine fistulae, an entity accounting for 1.6% of all urinary fistulae resulting from obstetric trauma. Diagnosis and management are discussed with reference to 19 cases of uretero-uterine fistulae reported in the literature.
