Szewczyk J, Krhut J. Fikoczek H, Kalusková I. Iatrogenic ureteral lesion diagnosed after one month. We present a case report of a patient with an iatrogenic lesion of the left ureter diagnosed one month after gynecological surgery. The main symptoms were abdominal distension and abdominal pain. A CT-IVP was not diagnostic. Only a subsequent reterograde urogram was more sensitive and demonstrated a ureteric lesion. It is always advisable to perform the most sensitive diagnostic methods when in doubt.

Keywords: Iatrogenic lesion of the ureter, retrograde urography, CT-IVU, ureteroneocystostomy, ureterohydronephrosis, laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy.
