Study Objective: To investigate the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy in patients with ureteral endometriosis (UE).
Design: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients who underwent surgery for the ureter endometriosis with hydronephrosis.
Setting: A private hospital that provide primary, secondary and tertiary care.
Patients: 30 consecutive patients with UE who underwent laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy at our institution between May 2008 and April 2020.
Interventions: Laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy, if necessary, hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, cystectomy, partial bladder resection, or partial bowel resection were performed.
Measurements And Main Results: The most common chief complaint was pelvic pain (40%). Endometriosis affected only the left ureter in 56.7% of patients, only the right ureter in 33.3%, and both ureters in 6.7%. Involvement of the ipsilateral ovary was confirmed in 64.3%. The most frequent location of UE was 1-3 cm above the UVJ (46.7%). A psoas hitch was performed in 7 patients (23.3%), and the Boari flap was used in 9 patients (30%). Hysterectomy was performed in 12 patients (40%), and 6 of them had a concomitant bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (20%). In addition, 3 patients (10%) underwent partial bowel resection, and 2 patients (6.7%) underwent partial bladder resection. After surgery, 24 of 27 patients (80.0%) were free of sever hydronephrosis after surgery. Hydronephrosis recurred in a single patient (3.3%), but the grade of hydronephrosis improved significantly after surgery (P < 0.001). At 6 months of follow up, 4 patients (13.3%) experienced urinary tract infections and 2 patients (6.7%) reported dysuria. Patients reported a regression of dysmenorrhea symptoms (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: This study shows that ureteroneocystostomy provides good results in terms of relapses and symptom control in patients with ureteral endometriosis.

Laparoscopic Lich - Gregoir ureteroneocystostomy versus open surgery: Are there benefits from the minimally invasive procedure?
J Pediatr Urol

National Investigator at the Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI [National Medical Center "Siglo XXI"], High Specialty Medical Unit Pediatric Hospital "Silvestre Frenk Freund" Mexican Social Security Institute, Mexico. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- - The study compares two surgical methods for treating primary vesicoureteral reflux in pediatric patients: the traditional open Lich-Gregoir reimplantation and the newer laparoscopic approach, assessing their complications and success rates.
- - Data were collected retrospectively from clinical charts of 68 patients who underwent either surgery between 2013 and 2017, with no notable differences found in operation times, hospital stays, or complication rates between the two groups.
- - The success rates were 85.2% for the open group and 90.2% for the laparoscopic group, indicating no significant difference, and the lower overall success rates may be attributed to the complex cases involving high-grade reflux in both surgical methods.
Laparoscopic modified simple ureteroneocystomy in iatrogenic lower third ureter injury during gynecology surgery.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, Chiayi 622, Taiwan R.O.C. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to introduce a laparoscopic technique for repairing injuries to the ureter caused during surgery, specifically focusing on a procedure called modified simple ureteroneocystostomy.
- A case series of 11 patients who underwent this procedure revealed that it was effective and generally safe, with only one patient later needing additional treatment for an infection.
- The findings suggest that this laparoscopic repair method is a viable and complication-free option for addressing lower third ureter injuries.

Ureteral endometriosis is rare and can be a silent clinical entity, which can potentially lead to serious complications such as obstructive uropathy, sepsis and renal failure. A high clinical suspicion is required especially in childbearing age groups due to non-specific presentation such as renal colic, recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), renal failure or asymptomatic hydronephrosis.A woman in her 40s presented with febrile UTI and flank pain.
