Incidental vaginotomy, a potentially severe complication, has occasionally been reported in cesarean sectionsperformed after prolonged second stage labor. There is controversy on the significance of vaginotomy and itsconsequences in cesarean section. Ureteral injury has been reported as a possible complication of cesareansection. Herein, we present a case of anterior vaginal incision instead of lower uterine segment, where the rightureter had been obstructed by sutures. The injury was detected and corrected during the operation. Thus incidentalvaginotomy in cesarean section must be taken seriously and avoided as far as possible. It is also crucialto inspect and preserve the integrity of ureters in such cases.
