title: Laparoscopic ureteroureteral anastomosis for distal ureteral injuries during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To estimate the feasibility and surgical outcomes of laparoscopic ureteroureteral for treatment of distal ureteral injuries.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective clinical study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
  
  
  METHODS
  University teaching hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four women with ureteral transection or ureterovaginal fistula.
  
  
  METHODS
  Laparoscopic ureteroureteral .
  
  
  RESULTS
  Median age of patients was 44 (range, 33-63) years, and median operating time was 110 (range, 85-150) minutes. There were no conversions to laparotomy. No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. Follow-up ranged from 20 to 46 months. All patients have been asymptomatic, and follow-up intravenous pyelograms and ultrasound examinations have been normal.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laparoscopic ureteroureteral anastomosis is an alternative surgical option in women with distal ureteral injuries during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.
