The paper studied outcomes in nine women with ureteral endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic ureteral resection and ureteroneocystostomy between 2008 and 2012, with follow-up assessing hydronephrosis, pelvic pain via VAS scores, and renal function using radioisotope measurements before and after surgery. Six months postoperatively, there was no recurrence of hydronephrosis, and pelvic pain VAS levels improved. In three cases assessed with renal radioisotopes, all showed improved renal function. The main limitation is the very small sample size and the short follow-up timeframe reported (six months for key outcomes). This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically ureteral endometriosis treated with laparoscopic ureteral resection and ureteroneocystostomy, reporting postoperative hydronephrosis, pain, and renal function outcomes.

Abstract

Objective: We investigated the prognosis of women with ureteral endometriosis after laparoscopic ureteral resection and ureteroneocystostomy.Study Design: From 2008 through 2012, we followed nine cases of ureteral endometriosis after laparoscopic ureteral resection and ureteroneocystostomy. We evaluated for any presence of hydronephrosis, improvement of pelvic pain (VAS levels), and renal function with radioisotopes before and after surgery.Results: We found no recurrence of hydronephrosis six months postoperatively. The VAS levels of pelvic pain also improved six months postoperatively. Three cases were examined with renal radioisotopes and all three cases were found to have improved function.Conclusion: Laparoscopic ureteral resection and ureteroneocystostomy improved the renal function of women with ureteral endometriosis.
