Summary
A benign ureteric polyp was successfully removed using a one-piece endoscopic resection. Ureteroscopy aids in diagnosing ureteric tumors, potentially avoiding open surgery.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Endourology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Ureteric tumors require accurate diagnosis to guide treatment.
- Traditional approaches like nephroureterectomy carry significant morbidity.
- Endoscopic techniques offer minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic options.
Observation:
- A case of a benign ureteric polyp is presented.
- The polyp was successfully resected in one piece via endoscopy.
Findings:
- Ureteroscopy is crucial for the differential diagnosis of ureteric tumors.
- Endoscopic resection of benign ureteric polyps is feasible and effective.
Implications:
- This approach can help avoid unnecessary nephroureterectomies.
- Minimally invasive ureteroscopy can prevent open surgical exploration.
- Preserves renal function and reduces patient recovery time.
