Systematic review assesses management approaches for iatrogenic ureteric injuries, indicating reconstructive dominance improves success rates.

To evaluate the effectiveness of management strategies for iatrogenic ureteric injuries following abdominal surgery.
Conducted systematic review and meta-regression of retrospective studies
Compared outcomes of reconstructive-dominant and endoscopic-dominant management
Analyzed clinical success rates and need for additional interventions
Reconstructive management had higher clinical success compared to endoscopic approaches (exact rates not specified)
Renal unit loss occurred uncommonly across studies
Endoscopic management was feasible but led to more subsequent interventions

Scilipoti et al. (2026) studied this question.
