  • Title: Laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy and vesicopsoas hitch with double ureter for infiltrative endometriosis: a case report.
    Author: Nezhat C, Rottenberg H.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 2009 Jun; 54(6):407-10. PubMed ID: 19639934.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The incidence of congenital anomalies of the ureter is very low, as is the incidence of endometriosis of the ureter. The presence of the 2 conditions together is extremely rare. To our knowledge, this is the first description in the medical literature of a laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy and vesicopsoas hitch in the setting of a double ureter for the treatment of infiltrative endometriosis. CASE: A 31-year-old multigravid woman with a history of severe endometriosis involving the urogenital tract and complete duplication of the right renal collecting system, as well as a right ureterovaginal fistula, presented for evaluation and surgical consult. The patient underwent laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy and vesicopsoas hitch for the treatment of infiltrative endometriosis with a double ureter. CONCLUSION: In skilled operative hands, a minimally invasive approach, applying the principles of laparotomy, in the setting of a duplicated renal collecting system is feasible.
