Ureteral Injury Due to a Harmonic Scalpel During Laparoscopic Salpingo-oophorectomy
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3021311/

From 2005, we had five cases of ureteric injuries, all on the right ureter with one case of right double ureter; intraoperative DJ stent and uretero-ureteral anastomosis were done in one case with the injury by scissors.
The other four ureteric injuries were by different new VSDs and harmonic scalpel, were detected later and treated in time to save the kidney function.

On July 12, 2002, the defendants performed a total abdominal
hysterectomy. Immediately following the operation, the plaintiff
complained of severe pain and was assessed with draining
blood-tinged urine and decreased urinary output

Medical Malpractice, Surgical Error, Settlement: $250,000. Stewart Casper obtained a settlement for a 42-year-old woman who underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. During the surgery she sustained damage to her right ureter which went undiagnosed for four weeks at which time she was alerted to a problem when she began to discharge urine through her vagina. She was diagnosed with a ureterovaginal fistula caused by the damaged ureter. She was required to undergo several invasive diagnostic procedures and then she underwent a re-implantation of her ureter.
