This paper reports a single patient case of ureteral endometriosis causing hydronephrosis in the context of bilateral complete ureteral duplication, managed laparoscopically. The authors describe the operative approach and the clinical presentation centered on urinary tract obstruction due to endometriotic involvement of the ureters. A key limitation is that, as a case report with only one patient, it cannot establish generalizable diagnostic or treatment effectiveness. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically ureteral endometriosis managed laparoscopically in a patient presenting with hydronephrosis.
