title: [Uretero-uterine fistula: what is the role of ureteroscopy?].
abstract: We present a case of uretero-uterine fistula that occurred following cesarean section complicated by postoperative peritonitis subsequent to failure of the uterine sutures. The distal and the proximal ends of the ureter were successfully explored by ureteroscopy. We discuss the contribution of ureteroscopy in ureter exploration and endoscopic treatment of uretero-uterine communications.
