Abstract
This video describes the minimally invasive technique of removing a 5 cm distal ureteral polyp close to 25 years ago with the use of ureteroscopy and a polyp snare. It is of historical significance in that it represents an early example of the creative, safe, and effective value of endourology in replacing open surgery.
This is an historical video of an important urological procedure that may be of interest to urologists today. The content of the video reflects the views of the authors, and the techniques and technologies used by the authors, at the time the video was produced. The complete author disclosures are no longer available.
