Iatrogenic ureteric injury is one of the major concerns in minimally invasive surgery in gynecological surgeries. It is really challenging to trace the course of ureter in cases with distorted pelvic anatomy like pelvic adhesions, previous pelvic surgeries and endometriosis. Lighted ureteric stents are useful in tracing ureters in such difficult situations. We present a case with using lighted ureteric stent to trace the course of ureter and to minimize ureteric injury in total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salphingo-oophrectomy in a patient with severe endometriosis.
