Retrospective review shows endoscopic treatment improves outcomes for ureteral injuries after gynecologic surgery, suggesting a need for timely intervention.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of retrograde endoscopic management for ureteral injuries resulting from gynecologic surgeries.
Retrospective review of women with ureteral injuries post-gynecologic surgery from 2010 to 2024.
Patients categorized into endoscopic and non-endoscopic treatment groups.
Endoscopic group further divided based on treatment timing: early (<3 months) and late interventions.
Assessment of treatment success, complications, and interventions needed at ≥3 months follow-up.
Of 42 patients, 29 (69%) underwent endoscopic treatment.
Early endoscopic intervention had an 80% success rate compared to 33% for late intervention (p = 0.03).
92.3% of non-endoscopic patients required definitive surgical repair after initial percutaneous nephrostomy.
Endoscopic treatment resulted in reduced operative times and shorter hospital stays.
