Long-term economic outcomes of ureteral injury in the United States

CONCLUSIONS: UIs add substantial cost for payers and result in more healthcare visits for patients. These findings highlight the importance of including inpatient and outpatient settings for UI prevention. Although UIs are rare, the associated patient and payer burdens are high; thus, protocols or techniques are needed to recognize and avert UIs, as current guideline recommendations are lacking.PMID:37961772 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2023.2283204
