Abstract
Background. The proper treatment of bladder endometriosis is unknown. Case: Two women with endometriosis involving the full thickness of the bladder wall experienced persistent hematuria during menstruation. Th ey had not responded to previous conservative medical or surgical ther apy, so we performed laparoscopic segmental resection, with satisfacto ry results. Conclusion: Hematuria during menstruation due to endometri osis of the bladder is uncommon. In the two cases presented, good resu lts followed laparoscopic segmental resection.
