We developed a procedure to correct ureteral obstruction that consists of transurethral ureteroscopic balloon dilation of the stenotic segment followed by a ureteroscopic ureterotomy. Since February 1989 we treated 20 ureters in 19 patients…

Operative laparoscopy is rapidly becoming an important technique used by all surgical specialties. More sophisticated and difficult procedures are continually being performed endoscopically. Complications from these procedures are inevitabl…

We report on a patient with a congenital pelvic kidney who presented with anuria and urinary ascites. Extensive pelvic endometriosis involving the ureteropelvic junction was the cause of severe obstruction. We discuss successful management …

Ureteral injuries during laparoscopic surgery have been documented. We present a case of the diagnosis and management of a uretero-fallopian tube fistula after laparoscopic laser fulguration of pelvic endometriosis.

Partial ureteral resection and ureteroureterostomy were accomplished using operative laparoscopy in a 36-year-old woman with a long-standing history of endometriosis, left ureteral obstruction and nephrostomy.

We report a rare case of endometriosis of the bladder in a 68-year-old postmenopausal woman. The patient had not received any exogenous estrogen therapy and the hormone levels were normal for a castrated female subject. Endometriosis of the…

Endometrioid carcinoma of the prostate is considered a variant of classical prostatic ductal carcinoma. Endometrioid carcinoma variant often has the unique clinical presentation of gross hematuria. The propensity of this tumor to spread wit…

Vesical endometriosis is an uncommon entity characterized by the deposition of benign, hyperplastic endometrial tissue in the bladder. To date, only about 160 cases have been reported in the world literature. More uncommon, however, are cas…

We report a case of pancreatic endometriosis that presented as a renal mass. The patient had a history of recurrent left loin pain and pathological examination revealed pancreatic endometriosis, with huge cyst formation around the kidney. T…

We studied prospectively 12 patients with upper tract filling defects to determine the clinical value of ureteropyeloscopy in this setting. All of the patients underwent a standard diagnostic regimen, including cystoscopy and retrograde pye…

Endometrial carcinoma of the prostatic utricle previously was believed to be of müllerian origin. We report 2 cases studied by ultrastructural and immunoperoxidase techniques. Our results, as well as those presented by others, demonstrate t…

Vesical endometriosis is uncommon and can result in months or years of morbidity if undetected. We report 2 cases that demonstrate that increased awareness of this entity and expeditious use of appropriate diagnostic techniques can lead to …

Of the female subjects with pelvic endometriosis 1.2 per cent are found to have involvement of the genitourinary tract. Ureteral obstruction secondary to endometriosis is uncommon and usually is unilateral. We report a case of renal failure…

We report 2 successfully treated cases of unilateral obstruction owing to endometriosis. Treatment consisted of danazol alone in 1 case and surgical freeing of the obstructed ureter in the other. Danazol alone can reverse completely uretera…

A case of endometrioma of the right kidney with extensive involvement is presented. The patient complained of vague pain in the right lumbar region with no specific symptom relating to the kidney. An excretory urogram revealed a hydronephro…
