Article Abstract
A 49-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic with high fever, left lumbar pain and a mass at the flank following spinal surgery for disk disease. Complete left ureteral avulsion with urinoma formation was detected and she was treated with ureteroureterostomy. As in this case shows that the possibility of ureteral injury to the ureter during surgery for a disk hernia should be familiar to all neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons and urologists.
