Prophylactic Ureteral Catheterization in the Intraoperative Diagnosis of Iatrogenic Ureteral Injury.

Conclusion: Although the beneficial effects of PUC on IUI incidence remain controversial, when a ureteral injury occurs during pelvic surgery, the presence of prophylactic ureteral catheters can significantly reduce both diagnostic delay and postoperative morbidity. By promoting an immediate repair, ureteral catheterization reduces need for further diagnostics and secondary interventions. PMID: 32253998 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
