Introduction & Objective: Iatrogenic ureteral injuries are unfortunate complications of surgery, ranging from 0.05 to 30%. While some are discovered intra-operatively, some are missed and are identified and repaired in a delayed fashion. Salpingoureteral fistula is a very rare diagnosis with only 4 reported cases in the literature. We reported a case of a 43 year-old female patient status post caesarian section with a salpingoureteral fistula successfully repaired with a robotic ureteral reimplantation and psoas hitch. Methods: Literature review of salpingoureteral fistula and description of a 43 year-old female patient status post caesarian section with a salpingoureteral fistula repaired with a successful robotic ureteral reimplantation and psoas hitch was done. Results: Salpingoureteral fistula is a rare diagnosis with only 4 reported cases in the literature. There are multiple modalities available for diagnosis and management of salpingoureteral fistula. Robotic repair of a salpingoureteral fistula has never been reported. Robotic ureteral reimplantation and psoas hitch is a safe and effective method for repair of a salpingoureteral fistula. Conclusions: Salpingoureteral fistula is a rare diagnosis with only 4 reported cases in the literature. Robotic ureteral reimplantation and psoas hitch is a safe and effective method for repair of a salpingoureteral fistula.
