Abstract
Iatrogenic ureteral injury, an uncommon entity, is primarily caused by complications of gynecologic surgery. This report describes a case of ureterovaginal fistula discovered 13 days after a vaginal hysterectomy. Ureteroscopy was performed, with passage of an indwelling ureteral stent for 6 weeks. The patient immediately became continent of urine and the fistula healed, thus avoiding the need for further surgery.
