Popis: We report a case which demonstrates that to approach an ureteral gunshot lesion endourologically may be an alternative to surgical intervention. We believe that drainage of a damaged ureter should, in selected cases, constitute the first option. This procedure often is successful, but may not be feasible in all cases. We do not believe that simple catheter drainage should replace standard surgical procedures. However, it presents a less invasive treatment alternative which still adheres to conventional surgical principles if a proper patient selection is made.
