title: Endourologic management of obstetrical ureterouterine fistula: case report and review of literature.
abstract: A 32-year-old woman presented to us with complaints of paradoxical incontinence for a period of 6 months following a cesarean section for obstructed labor performed elsewhere and subsequently treated elsewhere. Clinical and urographic assessment revealed an iatrogenic ureterouterine fistula, which was successfully treated endoscopically by dilatation of the ureteral stricture and ureteroscopic double-J stenting. It had been explained to the patient, and she had given consent for, ureteroneocystostomy in the event of failure. The literature regarding the management of this rare genitourinary fistula is reviewed and discussed.
