Abstract

We present a case of an iatrogenic complete left proximal ureteric injury after a lumbar 1 laminectomy and intradural tumour excision and lumbar 4/5 transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. Initial management included a percutaneous nephrostomy for urinary diversion followed by definitive urinary reconstruction with an ileal ureter.
