Accidental iatrogenic injuries of ureters and bladder in patients with abdominal and pelvic pathology are described as a possible lesion of a surgical or gynaecologic treatment. The ureteral lesion is less frequent in obstetric surgery, but the young age of the patients and the gravity of the consequences, impose a very serious problem for a early diagnosis with a conservative surgical treatment. On the contrary, this important injury, bears an important surgical management with possible functional damage of the reno-urinary tract. The Authors report the experience about the observation and treatment of a case of a young woman, 29 years old, who had a uretero-uterine fistula, after a cesarean section for the first pregnancy.
