A multicenter analysis reveals treatment outcomes in patients with ureteral injuries, indicating the benefits of individualized management.

This analysis evaluates the characteristics and treatment outcomes of iatrogenic ureteral injuries after ureterorenoscopic surgery.
Retrospective analysis of data from 19 centers in Turkey
Included 105 patients with iatrogenic ureteral injuries during ureterorenoscopic surgery
Analyzed demographics, types of injuries, timing of diagnosis, and treatment outcomes
60% of injuries occurred in the distal ureter, with laceration being the most common injury type at 64.7%
79% of diagnoses were made postoperatively, with a median diagnosis time of 30 days
Higher body mass index was linked to lower surgical success rates (p=0.049)
Reconstructive surgeries had lower complication rates compared to endourological approaches (p=0.045)
Nephrectomy was required in six patients due to renal atrophy.
