[Urologic iatrogenic disease].
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this paper is to emphasize that despite the undeniable advantages of urological instrumentation (insertion of a ureteral catheter, double-J catheter; percutaneous nephrostomy, etc.), it also carries some risks and complications.


METHODS
We report three cases of iatrogenic urological complications due to use of endoscopic and percutaneous material.


CONCLUSIONS
Urologists, and particularly the residents, are reminded that iatrogenic complications may occur even in the easiest and routine procedures of the medical activity.
