Iatrogenic ureteral injury is sometimes seen in daily clinical practice, and gynecological surgery carries the highest risk of ureteral injury among iatrogenic surgical ureteral injury. Case presentation A 61‐year‐old woman was referred to our department for right ureteral stricture and hydronephrosis after total hysterectomy. We initially attempted ureteral stenting, but hydronephrosis redeveloped 1 month after ureteral stent removal. We performed ureteroscopy via an antegrade approach and successfully incised and dilated the ureter. Conclusion We encountered a case of severe ureteral stenosis after total hysterectomy that was successfully treated endoscopically using ureteroscopy via an antegrade approach.
