Abstract
Ureteric involvement is usually asymptomatic, and therefore in patients with evidence of deep endometriosis it must be excluded by ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. Laparoscopic treatment of ureteric endometriosis is feasible. Intrinsic ureteric endometriosis is quite frequent in severe ureterohydronephrosis. Complete excision of the disease is essential to improve pain symptomatology and to prevent recurrence of disease. Long term follow up is required to exclude any stenosis.
