Abstract
Ureterosciatic hernia is a rare urological entity. We report a case of successful laparoscopic surgery for a ureterosciatic hernia that recurred repeatedly after conservative treatment. A 73-year-old woman complained of left abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) showed a left ureterosciatic hernia. After placement of the ureteral stent, the ureterosciatic hernia improved. The ureteral stent was removed after ureteral migration became normal. Four years and 8 months later, left ureterosciatic hernia recurred. Same treatment was performed; however, it recurred again. Therefore, laparoscopic surgery using a mesh was performed. The patient had no recurrence 9 months postoperatively.
