Minimmally invasive resolution of a left ureteral stenosis after Schistosoma haematobium infection

Abstract Genitourinary schistosomiasis is an acquired cause of urinary tract diseases, especially hematuria. Schistosoma haematobium can infect travelers after a single exposure. Bladder is the most frequent organ involved within the urinary tract, although upper tract can also be affected. Case report of 34-year-old woman with left upper urinary tract obstruction due to schistosomiasis is presented, as well as its diagnosis and minimally invasive surgical management through a laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation. After 1-year follow-up, she remains asymptomatic and without upper tract obstruction demonstrated by CT.
