title: Uro-retroperitoneum after ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicle puncture in an oocyte donor: a case report.
abstract: Ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicle aspiration is the standard technique for oocyte retrieval prior to IVF. Complications are rare, but some are potentially serious. We report a case of ureteral injury with acute-onset uro-retroperitoneum in a volunteer oocyte donor. The patient recovered rapidly after ureteral stenting. This case underlines the need for all candidate oocyte donors to receive proper information on serious procedure-related complications.
