Hydronephrosis Presenting 6 Months After Sacral Colpopexy: Case Report and Literature Review

Conclusion: This case demonstrates the challenges of an uncommon, but highly morbid, complication of pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Surgeons should maintain a high index of suspicion of ureteral injury when evaluating patients for late presentations of postoperative complications.
