Polypectomy (removal of tumors)

Polypectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the removal of polyps and other benign neoplasms of the urinary bladder, urethra, prostate, ureters, or kidneys. The operation is performed endoscopically, which allows avoidance of surgical incisions and significantly shortens the recovery period.

When is polypectomy required?

• When polyps are detected in the urinary bladder, ureters, urethra, kidneys, or prostate.
• In cases of recurrent urogenital infections caused by benign neoplasms.
• If polyps lead to bleeding, impaired urination, or pain.
• When there is a risk of malignant transformation (dysplasia, precancerous changes).
• If polyps interfere with normal urine outflow.

How is the procedure performed?

1. Diagnostics and preparation – ultrasound, cystoscopy, urethroscopy, CT, or MRI is performed to accurately determine the location and size of the polyp.
2. Anesthesia – the procedure is carried out under local, spinal, or general anesthesia.
3. Polyp removal – an endoscope is introduced into the bladder, urethra, or ureter, and the lesion is excised using a laser, electrosurgical instrument, or mechanical technique.
4. Coagulation – treatment of the resection site to prevent bleeding and reduce the risk of recurrence.
5. Post-procedure monitoring – histological examination of the removed tissue is performed, and urination is monitored.
