This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of urinary tract endometriosis, detailing its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic challenges. It reviews various surgical techniques for excision and reconstruction, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary management to preserve renal function and quality of life. The text highlights that while rare, this condition requires careful preoperative imaging and intraoperative planning to avoid complications such as ureteral injury or bladder dysfunction. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the diagnosis and surgical management of deep infiltrating lesions affecting the urinary tract.

Abstract

Because ovarian function is necessary for the development and maintenance endometrial implants, endometriosis has been reported only in the reproductive ages and so, is normally not seen before age 15 or after menopause. Endometriosis is most common in women between the ages of 25 and 35. However, after menopause, there are two factors which may promote or maintain endometriosis. One is the use of estrogen replacement therapy and the other is the presence of high endogenous estrogen in obese patients.
