This chapter examines ureteral endometriosis, defining extrinsic versus intrinsic disease in the ureter and outlining diagnostic procedures. It describes and discusses treatment options including excision of endometriotic lesions, ureterolysis, segmental ureteral resection with ureteral reimplantation, and medical management. A key limitation is that the text is descriptive and instructional rather than reporting original study outcomes or quantitative comparative effectiveness data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically ureteral endometriosis and its diagnosis and management.
