Aim:
To prospectively evaluate the safety. efficacy, feasibility and outcome of Nd-Yag laser endoscopic incision in adult symptomatic patients with intravesical uretroceles.
Methods:
We present our experience with the use of Nd-Yag laser for endoscopic incision of the adult ureterocele in a group of five symptomatic adult patients.
Results:
All the five patients showed excellent decompression with relief from flank pain and hydronephrosis and none demonstrated a post-op vesicoureteric reflux (VUR).
Conclusion:
Laser endoscopic management of intravesical ureteroceles is new emerging modality, which is being increasingly employed to decompress ureteroceles. Laser endoscopic incision is a precise and bloodless procedure enabling a clean accurate controlled cut through the endoscope as opposed to the traditional bugbee electrode.
