Objectives: To report the rare case of a patient with a ureteral polyp.
Methods: We describe the case of a 55-year-old female patient receiving care at the Celia Sanchez Manduley University Hospital in Manzanillo, Cuba, who was fortuitously diagnosed of a fibroepithelial polyp of the right ureter during the work up and treatment of an ovarian tumor.
Results: This case is the first of its kind in this hospital after 22 years, which confirms the rarity of ureteral tumors, specifically those of benign etiology. The absence of symptoms, specifically hematuria and pain, does not correspond to the reviewed articles. The chosen treatment was exeresis of the polyp at its base and frozen biopsy, followed by re-establishment of the urinary passage, as various authors recommend. Currently the endoscopical approach is recommended for its multiple advantages.
Conclusions: We conclude that this disease is very rare, may have a symptomatic course and the treatment of choice is surgery with very good results.

Fibroepithelial polyps are rare benign tumors originating from the mesoderm and are more commonly found in the renal pelvis and distal ureter and less frequently in the proximal ureter or bladder. This case report presents a fibroepithelial polyp occurring in the bladder of the fetus, showcasing its two-dimensional ultrasound, three-dimensional ultrasound, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler ultrasound findings, providing a reference for the accurate diagnosis of this condition.

Purpose: To present our initial experience in the management of multiple ureteral polyps with robotic or laparoscopic ileal ureter replacement (IUR).
Methods: Eight consecutive patients diagnosed with multiple ureteral polyps underwent robotic or laparoscopic IUR between July 2019 and November 2022. Unilateral IUR was performed in 5 patients with polyps in the left (n = 3) or right (n = 2) side, and 3 patients with bilateral multiple polyps underwent bilateral IUR.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of pediatric ureteral fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) patients. Our hypothesis is that laparoscopic surgery can effectively treat FEPs while minimizing patient discomfort and complications. Our research aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the surgery, including postoperative symptom relief, improvement in kidney function, and risk of postoperative complications.

Objective: Ureteral lesions caused by impacted ureteral stones are likely to result in postoperative ureteral stricture. On this basis, the study aimed to investigate if dual-energy spectral computed tomography can predict ureteral hardening caused by impacted stones and to explore the relationship between different types of ureteral lesions and the risk of ureteral stricture.
Methods: This prospective study collected data of 93 patients with impacted stones from hospital automation system during January 2018 to October 2019.
