This paper discusses ureteral endometriosis, highlighting its potential for silent renal compromise, the utility of ultrasound for early diagnosis, and the role of endourology combined with hormone therapy as a conservative treatment alternative to open surgery.

Abstract

Ureteral endometriosis is remarkable not for its frequency, but for the renal compromise it may cause. Because it is silent, diagnosis is established late. An abdominal ultrasound scan permits early diagnosis of the obstructive uropathy. Currently, ureteral stricture can be treated conservatively. In well selected cases, endourological techniques combined with hormone therapy can be an alternative to open surgery.
