TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Gunshot wounds of the ureter: a 15-year review of 63 consecutive cases JO - Journal of urology A1 - Holden, S. A1 - Hicks, C. C. A1 - O'Brien, D. P. A1 - Stone, H. H. A1 - Walker, J. A. A1 - Walton, K. N. SP - 562 EP - 564 VL - 116 IS - 5 N2 - We reviewed 63 consecutive cases of gunshot wounds of the ureter seen during a 15-year period. The importance of prompt recognition and aggressive surgical management is emphasized, with particular attention being placed on adequate debridement and spatulated splinted watertight ureteroureterostomy. Our philosophy of management for individual injuries is discussed along with our complications and results. This series is the largest reported to date of ureteral gunshot wounds.
