Abstract
Chapter 6 describes the main causes of iatrogenic injuries of the ureter in gynecological surgery: hysterectomy and its danger zones, oophorectomy, surgery for deep endometriosis, radical hysterectomy, genital prolapse, and stress urinary incontinence treatments. Injuries may be observed during obstetrical practice, meaning cesarean section and its hemorrhagic complications as well as postpartum hysterectomy.
