The urinary tract injuries are one of the most serious complications of the pelvic surgery and its incidence is about 0.1-1.5%. A 28 year-old woman who had delivered with emergency caesarean section in the second stage of labour applied to the emergency department with pain complaint commencing in the fifth day of the birth. The diagnosis of the patient was left ureteral angulation due to deep myometrial suturing during surgery. The patient was regularly followed-up by ultrasonography once a week until the left pelvic ectasia disappeared. Medical therapy is given when necessery. Aim of this report is to evaluate expectant management for the treatment of ureteral angulation that is diagnosed in early period after cesarean section.
