Ureteral lesion secondary to vaginal ultrasound follicular puncture for oocyte recovery in in-vitro fertilization

Techniques of oocyte retrieval have progressed from laparoscopy to transvaginal follicular aspiration under ultrasonographic control. This highly efficient method, routinely used nowadays, is not free of complications. We present a case of a ureteral lesion secondary to vaginal ultrasound follicular puncture for oocyte recovery in in-vitro fertilization. Despite the surgical procedure to reimplant the ureter, the patient achieved a twin pregnancy which is ongoing uneventfully.
