title: Laparoscopic ureteroureteral anastomosis on the distal ureter.
abstract: Repair of ureteral injury involving the distal ureter traditionally required laparotomy. Ureteroureteral anastomosis is not usually advocated due to technical difficulties and poor outcomes. Laparoscopy overcomes these difficulties and allows correction of distal ureteral injuries.
