The natural course of incidental ureteral polyp during ureteroscopic surgery: KSER research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The natural course of polypoid lesions in the ureter during ureteroscopic stone surgery was not yet clarified.

Methods

Patient data were collected prospectively from six teaching hospitals between 2019 and 2021. Patients with polypoid lesions in the ureter distal to ureteral stones were included during ureteroscopy. Computed tomography was performed on all enrolled patients three months after the procedure. Follow-up ureteroscopy was performed only if the patient consented, due to the need for general anesthesia and ethical considerations.

Results

Among the 35 patients who were followed up, 14 had fibroepithelial polyps and 21 had inflammatory polyps. Twenty of the followed-up patients underwent ureteroscopy, and nine of them had fibroepithelial polyps. Alt
