摘要
It occurs commonly in the female internal genital organs and pelvic cavity. Other
rare sites including the urinary tract have however been reported in the literature.
Herein, we present a 44-year-old woman with left lower ureteral stricture and
repeated hydronephrosis despite temporary ureteral stenting after laparoscopic
hysterectomy for adenomyosis. Ureteroscopy revealed a circumferential polypoid
lesion in left lower ureter and she received 4-port transperitoneal laparoscopic
segmental resection of the ureter and reanastomosis of ureter. Extrinsic ureteral
endometriosis was confirmed by pathologic examination. There was no recurrence
during 4-month followup. Laparoscopic resection offers minimal invasiveness and
adequate treatment for this entity in selected cases.
