This paper reviews the clinical characteristics and laparoscopic management of ureteral endometriosis based on a retrospective analysis of 96 consecutive cases at Stanford University Hospital. The study found that while nearly all patients experienced pain, only one-third reported urinary symptoms, with the left ureter being the most commonly affected site. The authors conclude that laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment are safe and efficient, emphasizing the need to evaluate for ureteral involvement in all endometriosis surgeries to prevent renal damage. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the laparoscopic surgical management of deep infiltrating lesions affecting the ureters.

Abstract

Purpose: We report the clinical characteristics and the principles of laparoscopic management of ureteral endometriosis at our institution. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients with ureteral endometriosis. Results: Preoperatively 97% of patients complained of pain but only a third had urinary symptoms. The left ureter was affected in 64% of cases and disease was bilateral in 10%. Four patients had hydroureter and 2 had hydronephrosis. Conclusions: To our knowledge this report represents the largest series of laparoscopically treated, pathologically confirmed ureteral endometriotic cases to date. It confirms that laparoscopic diagnosis and management of ureteral endometriosis are safe and efficient. All patients who undergo laparoscopy for endometriosis should be evaluated for possible ureteral involvement regardless of the presence or absence of urinary symptoms, or prior radiological evaluation since undiagnosed ureteral disease may result in loss of renal function.

Editorial Comment The authors described the largest series of ureteral endometriosis managed laparoscopically. The authors’ recommendations are very useful depicting a practical algorithm to evaluate and manage this not very common pathology. In case of non-dilated ureter, one may even consider placement of stents if ureter is compromised (dusky ureteral color, poor peristaltic activity and devascularized serosa). The aim of treatment should be to remove all endometriotic lesions, relieve ureteral compression and avoid recurrence while minimizing the morbidity associated with radical surgery. Moreover, the laparoscopic approach is feasible and allows the surgeon to treat optimally this disease. Dr. Fernando J. Kim Chief of Urology, Denver Health Med. Ctr. Associate Professor, Univ.
