AB The  left  ureter  is  at  risk  for  injury  during  hysterectomy,  hemicolectomy,  and  any  procedure  performed  in  the  pelvis.  Recognition  and  repair  of  the  injury  limits  post-operative  morbidity.  Once  the  injury  is  recognized,  a  number  of  repairs  are  possible.  In  all  repairs,  a  water-tight  closure  and  mucosa-to-mucosa  apposition  of  the  anastomosis  is  necessary.  The  location  of  the  injury  often  determines  the  type  of  repair  utilized.
