Laparoscopic Ureteroneocystostomy for Ureteral Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common disease associated with chronic pelvic pain and infertility. For ureteral endometriosis, which is rare, conventional therapy previously consisted of laparotomy. However, laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy has been reported recently. Laparoscopic surgery for ureteral endometriosis requires greater surgical expertise and takes a longer time to master. The minimally invasive approach is well known to give patients benefits because of its small incision, less pain and shorter hospital stay.
