TL;DR: The risk of ureteral injury is highest during gynaecological surgeries and lowest during caesarean sections as discussed by the authors, due to its proximity to the female genital tract and involvement in local pathologies is susceptible to inadvertent Iatrogenic injury during pelvic surgeries.
Abstract: The ureter due to its proximity to the female genital tract and involvement in local pathologies is susceptible to inadvertent iatrogenic injury during pelvic surgeries. The risk of ureteral injury is highest during gynaecological surgeries and lowest during caesarean sections. Uretero-uterine fistula (UUF) consequent to such inadvertent obstetrical injuries is a rarity. We report three cases of uretero-uterine fistulas, by far the largest series reported, and review the available literature.
