Abstract
Ureteral catheters are often inserted as a preliminary procedure before pelvic operations. We recommend insertion of ureteral catheters only if they are needed and during the operative procedure through a cystotomy or ureterotomy. Assessment of the need for catheterization is best made intraoperatively rather than preoperatively.Keywords
