title: Erroneous diagnosis of left ureteric injury leading to insertion of double J catheter to the left spermatic vein.
abstract: A case of erroneous diagnosis of left ureteric injury and its results is reported. An 86-year-old man was operated on for perforated diverticulitis. A tubular structure was injured at the left paracolic gutter and repaired over double J catheter. Six months later the proximal side of the catheter was found in the right ventricle, because it has been introduced into the spermatic vein and not into the left ureter.
