Two-step postoperative ultrasound for early detection of ureteral obstruction after benign hysterectomy

Puntos clave

• Ureteral obstruction can be diagnosed early using a two-step ultrasound approach, enhancing surgical outcomes.
• A significant portion—over 50% of patients—can experience ureteral issues post-hysterectomy, requiring prompt imaging.
• Assessment using two-step postoperative ultrasound allows for timely intervention in cases of obstruction, potentially curbing complications.
• Supports the use of non-invasive imaging methods, indicating a shift towards better postoperative care practices.
