Summary— Sixty‐two iatrogenic injuries of the ureter in 52 patients have been studied over a 15–year period. A plea is made for early recognition of post‐operative urinary fistulae and early operative repair. The results of 41 cases treated by the Boari‐Ockerblad method are reported without post‐operative obstruction or failure.
