Abstract
Background: Ureteral polyps are rare benign ureteral tumor. No guideline recommends that open or minimally invasive surgery is best for treating ureteral polyps. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the minimally invasive techniques currently available for treating ureteral polyps. Materials and Methods: We performed a comprehensive search of articles published in PubMed, using the keywords "ureteral" and "polyp," or "polyps." Results: A total of 275 studies were obtained from the literature search but 96 articles were excluded. Conclusions: Several minimally invasive approaches were developed with the advancement of medical technology, including endoscopic, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches; however, the best surgical technique was yet to be decided. Due to the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches, the best surgical approach should be tailored to each patient's needs and the surgeon's preferences and experience.
