title: Laparoscopic excision of endocervicosis of the urinary bladder.
abstract: Endocervicosis is a benign lesion in which endocervical mucosa develops in anatomic locations distant from the endocervical canal. Two cases of infiltrating endocervicosis of the urinary bladder were managed by laparoscopic partial cystectomy. This avoided the morbidity of laparotomy and provided improved visualization of the extent of bladder resection required to remove the lesion completely.
