Iatrogenic ureteral injuries: a case series analysis with an emphasis on the predictors of late ureteral strictures and unfavorable outcome in different surgical specialties.

Iatrogenic ureteral injuries associated with ob/gyn surgeries involve the lower ureter, primarily with overall favorable outcomes (82%). Serious ureteroscopic IUIs affect men in the upper ureter with greater frequency. IUIs on the left side and colorectal cancer surgeries are the predictors for late strictures and secondary interventions.
