Ureteral fibroepithelial polyp is the most common benign lesion of the ureter. It is mac-roscopically seen as polypoid lesions with smooth-shiny surface. Fibroepithelial polyp is rarely accompanied with ureteral stones. The most common symptom of polyps are colic flank pain and hematuria. Traditionally, polyps have been managed by open exploration and resection, but today patients can be treated en-doscopically with percutaneous, ureteroscopic and laparoscopic techniques.
In this report, we present three cases with ureteral fibroepithelial polyp and concomitant ureteral stones treated with Ho-YAG laser en-doscopically.
Key Words: Ureteral fibroepithelial polyp, ureteral stone, holmiyum-yttrium aluminum garnet laser.
Abstract
Ureteral fibroepithelial polyp is the most common benign lesion of the ureter. It is mac-roscopically seen as polypoid lesions with smooth-shiny surface. Fibroepithelial polyp is rarely accompanied with ureteral stones. The most common symptom of polyps are colic flank pain and hematuria. Traditionally, polyps have been managed by open exploration and resection, but today patients can be treated en-doscopically with percutaneous, ureteroscopic and laparoscopic techniques.
In this report, we present three cases with ureteral fibroepithelial polyp and concomitant ureteral stones treated with Ho-YAG laser en-doscopically.
