Urethral obstruction caused by endometriosis

: Two cases of unilateral urethral obstruction caused by endometriosis were reported. Two patients aged 48 and 35 years old were fully diagnosed with above mentioned abnormalities prior to a surgical operation. During the surgical operations the initial diagnosis was confirmed macroscopically, followed by the surgical amputation of the urethral parts pathologically changed. The anastomosis of urethra was finally performed after confirmation that the remaining parts were macroscopically unchanged. Histopathological examinations confirmed the initial diagnosis. After the surgical operation both patients were subjected to hormonal treatment attaining full recovery. The above presented cases--urethral endometriosis is one of rare complications caused by endometriosis. Proper and early diagnosis, followed by an effective treatment is important in obviating grievous consequences e.g. total renal failure.
