She has extensive experience in the use of instrumental and sensory tests to assess the quality of alcoholic beverages (wine and beer) and meat products. She has participated in different educational innovation projects and coordinated three of them. These projects have made it possible to coordinate working groups for the implementation of degrees in the EEES, and apply new teaching methodologies that allow the acquisition of horizontal competences by students.

The vast majority of these cases – 80–85% involve the bladder. Ureteral endometriosis occurs in just 15% of cases. Ureteral involvement usually occurs near its insertion in the bladder, just above the ureterovesical junction (UVJ), near where it crosses the uterine artery [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. We believe that this prevalence is underestimated due to the scarce data in the literature and the lack of standardization of the surgical technique around the world in different countries. Based on our practical experience, we believe that extrinsic ureter involvement is more prevalent than the data in the literature would suggest, and may exceed 30% of all surgeries for multicompartmental deep endometriosis, especially when there is intestinal (rectal/sigmoid) infiltration and/or parametrical infiltration. Thus, knowledge of ureteral endometriosis and its management are of fundamental importance for surgeons who propose to perform comprehensive treatment of the various presentations of endometriosis.
\nThe ureter connects the renal pelvis to the bladder, typically measuring 20–30 cm in length. It is a tubular conduit with a smooth muscle structure that confers a capacity for peristalsis. The ureter’s course is entirely retroperitoneal; for didactic purposes it is divided into two portions: abdominal and pelvic. The abdominal portion maintains an important relation with the psoas muscle and gonadal vessels, traveling laterally to the latter throughout its abdominal course. Before penetrating the pelvis, uteter passes anteriorly to the iliac vessels, and the pelvic segment initially accompanies the internal iliac artery (Figure 1).
\nVascular supply of the uterers and their relation to the great vessels.
In the female, the pelvic segment of the ureter penetrates the parametrium and courses between the uterine artery (above) and vaginal artery (below). At this point, great care must be taken in its identification, as iatrogenic injuries of the ureter may occur during pelvic surgeries.
\nThe ureter is irrigated by multiple arteries along its course, starting with the renal, gonadal, aorta and common iliac arteries. More distally in its pelvic segment the ureter is supplied by the internal iliac, superior vesicle, uterine, medial rectal arteries, vaginal, and inferior vesicle arteries (Figure 1). As they approach the ureter, the arterial branches travel along a longitudinal pathway within the adventitia (ureteral sheath), forming anastomotic bundles. In this way the surgical dissection of the ureter should strive to preserve the adventitia in order to avoid ischemia.
\nEndometriosis can infiltrate the ureter intrinsically or extrinsically. When extrinsic – 80–90% of such cases – the endometriosis infiltrates the adventitia and/or submucosa. When intrinsic (the remainder of cases), the disease infiltrates the mucosa and submucosa and may present as ureteral stenosis [5, 7].
\nA thorough history and physical examination are essential in order to recognize or suspect urological impairment secondary to endometriosis. The patient may be asymptomatic or experience cyclical renal colic and hematuria during the menstrual period. In intrinsic cases the endometriosis may progress to obstruct the lumen of the ureter, whereas in extrinsic cases there can be circumferential or annular (extrinsic) compression. Both are capable of insidiously causing partial and even complete loss of renal function in one or both kidneys.
\nAssessment using imaging studies is indispensable for surgical planning. Not all anatomical sites are accessible to ultrasound. Magnetic resonance imaging can identify and assess hemorrhagic components of endometriomas throughout the pelvis, and thus is the preferred imaging method to assess ureteral involvement (Figure 2). In cases in which impaired renal function is known or suspected, static and dynamic renal scintigraphy should be ordered, and endoscopic investigation (ureteroscopy) contemplated to inform surgical planning.
\nEndometriosis infiltrating the left ureter (green arrow) generating ureterohydronephrosis.
Preoperative cystoscopy to evaluate bladder endometriosis is necessary especially when a non-invasive imaging method (MRI or ultrasonography) identifies lesions which are suspicious for endometriosis in the compartment anterior to the uterus. In the cases of lesions infiltrating the bladder mucosa, it is important to determine the exact location(s), their size and their distance from the two ureteral ostia, as well as any projection into the ureter intramurally.
\nSuch findings could help determine which surgical approach should be used; options range from simple ureterolysis to ureterectomy with uretero-ureteral anastomosis or a ureterovesical reimplantation. Concomitant cystoscopy with vaginal palpation is important to assess disease or areas of adhesions localized in the vesico-uterine septum that may suggest the need for partial cystectomy or suture-reinforced bladder shaving (Figure 3).
\nEndometriosis infiltrating the bladder trigone and right ureteral ostium as visualized during cystoscopy.
It is advisable to perform outpatient urinary sediment (EAS) and urine culture studies preoperatively to ensure sterile urine during the procedure.
\nAntimicrobial prophylaxis should be administrated during the induction of anesthesia. Thromboembolic prophylaxis of the lower extremities with compressive or pneumatic stockings is also recommended.
\nTreatment of endometriosis should be individualized. The laparoscopic approach, robot-assisted or not, has become the option o choice for most surgeons [8, 9]. We observed that through accumulated experience and continuous training, it becomes possible to carry out increasingly complex cases laparoscopically, affording the patient all the advantages and benefits of minimally invasive techniques.
\nThe basic laparoscopic surgical tools required include non-traumatic grasping forceps, Maryland forceps, laparoscopic scissors, laparoscopic needle holders and contra-need holders, as well as an articulating Hook with monopolar cautery. No special clamps are required for this procedure. Bipolar or ultrasonic clamps when available will help with the dissection and hemostasis, reducing surgical time.
\nContemplating the possibility of a joint intervention – laparoscopy and cystoscopy/ureteroscopy – a cystoscope, ureteroscope, hydrophilic guidewire, and ureteral catheter should be available. If there is more intense manipulation or segmental resection of the ureter, double J catheter placement will be necessary, in order to ensure a patent ureter and adequate healing. It is worth mentioning that inoperative dynamic C-arm fluoroscopy should be available to verify proper positioning of the catheters.
\nHow the patient is positioned for surgery will depend on the site of ureteral involvement. For the more common case of distal involvement, the patient should be placed in the Lloyd Davies and Trendelenburg position, lying directly on a non-adherent eggcrate foam pad. The legs should be wrapped in pneumatic stockings and secured to boot-like leggings, avoiding continuous compression of the calves.
\nThe first puncture is performed in the umbilical scar where a 10 mm trocar is placed to introduce the optic (Figure 4–black circle) and the patient is kept in dorsal decubitus. After exploration of the cavity, the patient is placed in Trendelenburg (Lloyd Davies) position and the surgeon inserts two 5 mm trocars (Figure 4–blue circles) and a fourth trocar for the first assistant. The second assistant stands between the patient’s legs to manipulate the uterus after placement of the uterine manipulator (Figure 4–second assistant). With the surgical team members in these positions it is possible to perform ureterolysis, uretero-ureteral anastomosis and ureterovesical reimplantations on the right (Figure 4-A) or on the left (Figure 4-B).
\nTrocar sites. Position of surgeons for access to the right distal ureter (A) and for access to the left distal ureter (B).
In endometriosis that involves the ureter, we may encounter ureteral involvement due to fibrosis without extrinsic muscle/muscular infiltration or intrinsic endometriosis infiltrating the muscular layer and/or mucosa. It is only after ureterolysis of the entire affected section of the ureter and segments proximal and distal portions to the disease that the surgical approach can be assessed/determined (Figure 5) and (Figures 10, 11, 12). It is always important to perform a ureteroscopy (Figures 6 and 13) to evaluate the internal aspect/lumen of this ureter and if necessary to perform a frozen biopsy to confirm or rule out the possibility of intrinsic endometriosis.

Laparoscopic and ureteroscopic views of the ureteral segment with extrinsic endometriosis.
With extrinsic disease – the majority of cases – with careful ureterolysis using “cold” scissors all disease can be removed without the need to resect any segment of the ureter (Figures 7 and 8). After a laborious ureterolysis, it is recommended that the narrowed segment be dilated using a ureteral balloon catheter dilator (Figure 9) endoscopically either by cystoscopy or ureteroscopy, with placement of a double J catheter for 30–60 days.
\nDissection of the ureter using scissors (without energy) - initiation of the freeing of the extrinsic endometriosis.

Dilatation of the stented segment using a balloon catheter (laparoscopic view) and posterior placement of the double J catheter.
When ureteroscopy reveals intrinsic endometriosis (Figure 13), (typically 3–4 cm from the UVJ) ureterectomy of the involved segment is necessary (Figures 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) subject to consideration of the best surgical technique [10]. In those cases where the distal ureter stump (close to the UVJ) is greater than 1 cm, one can elect to perform an end-to-end ureteroureterostomy (Figure 17), another ureteroscopy after the anastomosis (Figure 18), with placement of a double J catheter [11, 12].

In cases in which the distal ureteral stump is very small (less than 1 cm) or the endometriotic lesion infiltrates the ureter intramurally and the bladder (via the ureteral ostium), a uretero-vesical reimplantation is required [13, 14] (Figures 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26).

As with all transperitoneal surgery, a period of adynamic ileus should be respected after the procedure. The progression of the diet should be individualized, but typically requires less than 8 hours. Early ambulation is essential in this context, and it also helps to minimize thromboembolic events. Early administration of enoxaparin (starting 12 hours after the end of surgery) is indicated unless there are contraindications. Antibiotic prophylaxis should be restricted to the intraoperative period and certainly should not be initiated more than 24 hours after the procedure [15].
\nGiven an experienced multidisciplinary team, complications should be proportional to the extent of the lesion(s). Specifically regarding ureteral endometriosis, in cases where there is a need for extensive ureterolysis, ureteral ischemia and urinary fistulas with the formation of urinomas can be observed. In cases of ureteral resection and anastomoses (uretero-ureteral anastomosis or ureteral reimplantation) anastomotic dehiscence may occur with formation of urinary fistulas. However, double J catheter placement dramatically reduces such complications. Another common complication is stenosis at the anastomosis site [9, 11, 14].
\nThe laparoscopic surgical treatment of ureteral endometriosis is feasible provided the surgeon is trained in laparoscopic surgery and has knowledge of the ureteral anatomy and its anatomical relationships. These conditions being met, laparoscopic surgical treatment of ureteral endometriosis can be considered safe, with low rates of postoperative complications and low morbidity.
