Abstract
The first case of blunt ureteral disruption with external urine fistulization is presented. Reanastomosis with temporary urine diversion by a nephrostomy tube was successful. A review of the literature since 1950 revealed only 49 cases that proved this pathology should be considered in the differential diagnosis of post-traumatic hematuria or the development of mass in the flank. Nephrectomy is no longer used since a thorough attempt at reconstructive surgery will provide good functional results.Keywords
