Ureterovesical reimplantation for ureteral deep infiltrating endometriosis: A retrospective study

Laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy and round ligament bladder hitching for ureteral stenosis in parametrial deep endometriosis: Our tips for a tension‐free anastomosis

“…The rate of postoperative complications in the present series is aligned with those reported in literature in terms of blood loss, fever, urinary infection, and ureteral fistula 3,4,25,26 ; even the duration of the intervention is comparable to that registered by Ceccaroni et al 3 in 2018.…”

Laparoscopic management of ureteral endometriosis

“…The utility of the laparoscopic approach in such cases has been established in the last decades once the minimally invasive approach started replacing the conventional approach; therefore, it has been widely accepted that the minimally invasive approach might offer certain advantages, such as a magnification of the view and better individualization of the structures. In the study conducted by Chudzinski et al and published in 2017 the authors included 17 patients presenting ureteral involvement in which ureteral resection and reimplantation were needed 12 . Among these cases, the ureteral involvement was known preoperatively in 82% of cases, in 23% of them bilateral ureteral involvement being reported; moreover 35% of cases also associated renal atrophy, while renal function impairment was found in 23% of cases.…”

“…When it comes to the preferred approach, the authors underlined the fact that laparotomy was the option of choice in 41% of cases, being followed by laparoscopy in 35% of cases and robotics in 23% of cases; however, the rate of laparotomies decreased from 63% before the year of 2010 to 23% after the year of 2010. Among cases submitted to a minimally invasive approach, there were three cases in which conversion to open surgery was needed due to the presence of bowel injury -in one case and due to the presence of iatrogenic ureteral lesions -in two cases 12 . In a similar study conducted by Sconman et al in Tel-Aviv, Israel, and which included seven patients, the authors reported the necessity to convert from laparoscopy to laparotomy in two cases, while in other four cases laparotomy was the option of choice 13 ; interestingly, in all cases a previous history of at least one surgical intervention for endometriosis was reported.…”

Potential Value of Haptic Feedback in Minimally Invasive Surgery for Deep Endometriosis

“…Therefore, endometriosis surgery is associated with a risk of major complications. 6,7 For treatment of DE of the urinary tract, intraoperative accidental injuries of the ureters and bleeding are reported. Major post-operative complications include anastomotic leakage, ureteral fistulae, and vesicovaginal fistulae.…”
