Difficult Conditions in Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery

Abstract

The incidence of iatrogenic ureteral injury has been increasing as the widespread of endoscopic procedures and laparoscopy, especially urological, gynecological and colorectal procedures [1, 2]. Ureteral strictures are most commonly secondary to previous surgeries, radiotherapy, malignancy, infection, endometriosis, trauma [3]. Surgical management of ureteral injuries depends not only on the length, location and etiology of the injury, but on the urologist’s surgical experience on open or minimally invasive approaches.
