Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have sustained injury to your Right ureter during surgery for Hysterectomy.

This is an accident and results in to stricture of ureter at the site of injury.which in turns leads to reduce the kidney function.

Kidney function will regain only if normal continuity of ureter is established by surgery either excision of the structured segment and doing end to end anastomosis or with surgery to replace damaged segment of ureter by a technique called Boari's Flap technique.

Please consult qualified Urologist for evaluation and further help.
