Abstract

A 46-year-old woman underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for the treatment of endometriosis. Two weeks postoperatively, she presented with pelvic pain and vaginal drainage. A right ureterovaginal fistula was diagnosed with the assistance of computed tomography (CT) urography and nephrostogram.
