We report 13 cases of iatrogenic injuries to the ureter assembled in the department of urology of Averroes hospital. All the cases resulted from gynecological and obstetric mishaps. The patients ranged in ages from 18 to 45 years. Clinical features consisted of permanent urinary incontinence through the vagina with persistence of normal micturition in the majority of our patients. Ureterohydronephrosis and uretero-vaginal fistulae were noted in the majority of our cases. All the uretero-vaginal fistulae were repaired, by different techniques with good results.
