Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Fibroepithelial polyps in the urinary tract are a rare cause of obstructive uropathy with fewer than 130 cases reported in the literature. In our series, we describe polyps that were missed on preoperative imaging and later found in the operating room during pyeloplasty. It is critical for urologists to be aware of polyps as a potential source of obstruction as they can increase the complexity of a reconstruction and, if missed, may result in a failed repair and persistent obstruction. We hypothesize that performing a retrograde pyelogram prior to ureteric reconstruction will facilitate diagnosis prior to surgical repair.
