Ureteral inverted papilloma: laparoscopic distal ureterectomy and boari flap.

OBJECTIVE

To report a case of ureteral inverted papilloma (IP) with laparoscopic resolution.

METHODS

We report the case of a 30-year-old male patient who consulted for asymptomatic hematuria with the radiological finding of a filling defect at the distal right ureter. Ureteroscopy biopsy was not diagnostic, so laparoscopic ureterectomy with a Boari flap technique was performed. The pathology report showed a ureteral inverted papilloma.

CONCLUSION

Laparoscopic ureteral replacement by Boari flap is a safe surgical alternative for defects in the distal ureter with the advantages of a minimally invasive procedure.
