Abstract

To our knowledge, there are only a few published cases of ureteral injuries secondary to urethral catheterization. We present a case of a ureteral rupture that occurred by placement of a standard 16-Fr urethral catheter. The ureteral injury was identified by computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis and managed with ureteroureteral anastamosis.<br /> (Published by Elsevier Inc.)
