Endometriosis of the ureter

A Patel et al. Br J Urol. 1992 May.

Abstract

Five patients with ureteric endometriosis are described. Extensive pre-operative investigation failed to reveal the aetiology of the unilateral upper urinary tract obstruction seen in all of these patients. Due to the dense fibrosis that invariably accompanies ureteric endometriosis, early surgical excision of the ureteric stricture permits effective resolution of upper tract dilatation and improved renal salvage.
