Abstract
ABSTRACT
Endometriosis is the leading cause of female pelvic pain
and infertility and affects approximately 10% of women.
Lesions involve the urinary tract in up to 6% of cases with
ureteral involvement in a smaller subset of .08% to 1%.
Multiple authors describe open and laparoscopic approaches
to management of ureteral endometriosis; howeve,
this report describes 2 cases of ureteral obstruction
secondary to endometriosis managed with robotic-assisted
laparoscopic partial ureterectomy and ureteroneocystostomy.
