Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To report the technique and outcome of a laparoscopic vesicopsoas hitch used for the treatment of infiltrative ureteral endometriosis.
DESIGN: Case report.
SETTING: A tertiary care center.
PATIENT(S): A 36-year-old woman with infiltrative endometriosis of the ureter.
INTERVENTION(S): A laparoscopic vesicopsoas hitch.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The return of normal ureteral function as measured by IV pyelography and ultrasonography.
RESULT(S): After partial ureteral resection, it was noted that a tension-free anastomosis to the bladder was not possible. Thus, a laparoscopic vesicopsoas hitch was performed.
CONCLUSION(S): A vesicopsoas hitch can be performed successfully by laparoscopy.
