Obstructive Uropathy Secondary to Pelvic Endometriosis: A Scary Story!
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Endometriosis presents as-1. superficial, 2. ovarian endometrioma, and 3. deep infiltrating endometriosis. Obstructive uropathy can rarely result from endometriosis, especially in premenopausal women-incidence being 0.3%-12%. Case: A 40-year-old married, working female presented to ER with severe left-sided flank pain radiating, lump abdomen, heavy menstrual bleeding, and inability to pass urine. Physical examination revealed a large 24-week lump abdomen. Imaging studies were done with USG showing a large cystic left adnexal mass which was followed by CT urography showing hydroureteronephrosis and a large cystic mass of 10 cm compressing the urinary bladder and ureter, along with uterine adenomyosis. Emergency cystoscopy and left DJ stenting was done to relieve the obstruction which resulted in relief from flank pain. This was followed by laparoscopic hysterectomy with left salpingo-oophorectomy with right salpingectomy and adhesiolysis. Postoperative imaging showed complete resolution of ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis. Histopathology confirmed endometriotic cyst and adenomyosis. Discussion: Endometriosis can present with a wide spectrum of symptoms. Involvement of the urinary system in cases of endometriosis might result in compromise of renal function over time. Prompt surgical management is essential in cases of obstructive uropathy. Cases similar to ours have demonstrated the importance of prompt decompression of urinary tract by emergency DJ stenting followed by definitive surgical management of underlying endometriosis. Modern endometriosis management included the conservative laparoscopic surgery and ureterolysis followed by the resection of concomitant endometriosis and a broad-based multidisciplinary approach, centered on a patient's symptoms and priorities. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of considering endometriosis as a differential diagnosis of women presenting with urological symptoms as well as the need for collaboration between urologist and gynecologist in such cases solidifying that the rapid intervention and multidisciplinary line of management is essential for optimal patient outcome.
