Abstract

Ureteral duplication with a blind-ending branch (BEB) is rare anomaly. The presence of fibro-epithelial polyps in duplicated ureters is also infrequent. Despite the noticeability of endoscopic polypectomy, further recurrence of polyps and persistence of pain increase the probability of further ureteral resection with surgical procedures. In such cases, BEB of duplicated ureter is an excellent reservoir to save the function of the kidney. This is the first case with concomitant presence of fibro-epithelial polyps and BEB in duplicated ureter managed with novel surgical technique of uretero-pelvic junction and BEB branch anastomosis. We followed-up the patient for 23 years. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
