Prolapsed ureterocele.

Although rare, the prolapsed ureterocele constitutes a urologic emergency that can rapidly evolve to severe conditions due to congestion and necrosis, and to obstruction of the urinary tract. A simple external resection resolves the emergency, allowing a postoperative investigation of the whole urinary tract to be performed, in order to adequately prepare urinary reconstruction.

Ureteral endometriosis.

The authors present two cases of ureteral endometriosis. Urinary tract endometriosis has been frequently described affecting mainly the bladder. In the ureter, it is a rare pathology, of difficult identification. Treatment aims at ureteral disobstruction together with eradication of endometrial foci. This is accomplished by surgical, radiotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic means.
