Volume 13, Number 4Review ArticlesChanging Patterns in Iatrogenic Ureteral InjuriesTreatment ReviewDean G AssimosVictoriano RomeroHaluk AkpinarJohn Smith IIIAdvances in laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery over the past 25 years have changed the preferred methods for performing many operations. We previously reported an increase in the number of patients treated for ureteral injury at our institution that paralleled the introduction of minimally invasive techniques. Since that report, more advanced endoscopic procedures have been introduced. We sought to determine whether the latter influenced the number of ureteral injuries managed at our institution. Reported here are the results of our retrospective study, which sought to determine if the rate of treatment of major iatrogenic ureteral injuries has changed.
