title: Endoscopic ureterotomy for the treatment of ureteric stricture following laparoscopic oophorectomy.
abstract: We report a case of ureteric stricture formation in a 40-year-old woman after laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy and ureterolysis for removal of a large benign ovarian cyst. Ten days postoperatively, she was examined for gradually increasing loin pain and was found to have a short-segment ureteric stricture. She was initially treated conservatively by placement of a ureteric stent. The stent was removed after 6 weeks, and the ureteric obstruction reoccurred. She was subsequently successfully treated by endoscopic ureterotomy.
