Ureteral Rupture Caused by Accidental Intubation of the Ureter with a Foley-Catheter during Ureterorenoscopy

Figure 1

Ureterorenoscopic findings after the misplaced transurethral catheter was removed. The image was taken right after the transurethral catheter’s balloon block was deflated and the catheter was pulled back into the bladder. On the left edge of the picture (white arrow) the guide-wire being in situ in the ureter can be seen. In the center of the picture the ruptured ureter shows way into the retroperitoneal space.
