Ureterstenose bei tief infiltrierender Endometriose – eine oft zu spät erkannte Komplikation
Deep infiltrating endometriosis affects the urinary tract in 1–5% of women, frequently involving the bladder or ureter, and can lead to kidney failure if ureteral stenosis is not promptly diagnosed.

The paper presents a case report describing a 45-year-old woman with deep infiltrating endometriosis who was found to have a right adnexal mass presumed to be an endometriosis cyst on transvaginal ultrasound, alongside reduced kidney function and previously known right hydronephrosis. During laparoscopy with preoperative ureteral stenting, the authors observed extensive ureteral stenosis on the right lasting 5 cm in the area of the fossa ovarica due to endometriosis; after ureter mobilization and lysis and removal of the stent, hydronephrosis recurred within 3 months. A key limitation is that, as an individual case report, it cannot establish frequency or outcomes beyond this patient, though the article notes that urinary tract involvement occurs in a minority of women and may remain unrecognized due to lack of specific urologic symptoms. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically ureteral stenosis from deep infiltrating endometriosis presenting as a often late-recognized complication that can threaten kidney function.
