[Ureteral endometriosis: three cases. Diagnostic and therapeutic management. Literature review]
Abstract
Ureteral endometriosis is a rare but serious entity because of its insidious evolution which can lead to the loss of kidney function. Three cases are reported: two patients have received a medical and endoscopic management and the third one has undergone a surgical procedure. According to the literature, the authors suggest a diagnostic and therapeutic tree.
