Major injury of the external iliac artery during robotic nephroureterectomy: Examining the surgical management and unexpected pathology finding

We aimed to describe the management of the intraoperative injury of the right external iliac artery that occurred during a robot-assisted right nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision. The surgery was scheduled for suspected urothelial carcinoma of the distal ureter in a 60-year-old woman. The patient involved in the present research signed a dedicated form to consent to the publication of images and/or infor- mation about her. Past medical history included Brugada syndrome diagnosed in 2015, and hypercholesterolemia. Past surgical history included one cesarean section only. Family history included ovarian cancer (sister), colorectal cancer (mother), and kidney cancer (father).
