Techniques of oocyte retrieval have progressed from laparoscopy to transvaginal follicular aspiration under ultrasonographic control. This highly efficient method, routinely used nowadays, is not free of complications. We present a case of a ureteral lesion secondary to vaginal ultrasound follicular puncture for oocyte recovery in in-vitro fertilization. Despite the surgical procedure to reimplant the ureter, the patient achieved a twin pregnancy which is ongoing uneventfully.
