Abstract
During 18 months of warfare in Osijek among 4,425 wounded with 142 urogenital injuries, there were also 11 injuries of ureter. In 9 cases the injury was caused by explosive device and in 2 by a bullet. Ureteral injury was always discovered incidentally, during abdominal exploration due to a concomitant injury. In 3 cases resection with primary suture was done, in 3 cases ureterocystoneostomy was performed and in further 3 cases without visible tissue loss, ureteral stent was applied only. The remaining two cases were explored only. Six months later, out of 5 controlled cases, 3 with resected ureters showed an excellent result whereas 2 cases with stent application only resulted in stenosis on the very site of wall contusion.
