Recurrent ureteral endometriosis

We present a case of a 31-year-old female with recurrent endometriosis after excision 5 years prior. Imaging was consistent with deep infiltrating endometriosis along the pelvic sidewall and this corresponded with surgical findings of a 1cm deep infiltrating endometriosis lesion extrinsic to the left ureter. It is crucial for the gynecologic surgeon to be familiar with ureteral endometriosis, its preferred treatment algorithm, and how to prevent recurrence.
