[Ureteral endometriosis. Role of endourology and treatment].
Ureteral endometriosis is remarkable not for its frequency, but for the renal compromise it may cause. Because it is silent, diagnosis is established late. An abdominal ultrasound scan permits early diagnosis of the obstructive uropathy. Currently, ureteral stricture can be treated conservatively. In well selected cases, endourological techniques combined with hormone therapy can be an alternative to open surgery.
