A case of Laparoscopic ureteroureteral anastomosis for ureteral injury during laparoscopic excision of endometriosis

Abstract

  Deep endometriosis forms severe adhesion in the peritoneal cavity,which sometimes displaces the anatomical position of the ureter, and occasionally extends deeply into the retroperitoneal space, pressing and obstructing the ureter.
  Therefore, ureteral injury is an important complication that may occur during laparoscopic excision of endometriosis.
  We report a case of ureteral injury during laparoscopic deep endometriosis excision, which was repaired by laparoscopic ureteroureteral anastomosis using an indwelling D-J catheter as a ureteral stentguide.
