INTRODUCTION: @entity1127 are rare. Cases and small series are reported in the literature. The treatment of choice, outcome and appropriate follow-up regimen remain unclear. METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature review of papers reporting @entity1127 in adult @entity1 . Articles published before 1980 were excluded. RESULTS: The search yielded 144 papers, of which 68 met the inclusion criteria. A reference scan from the included 68 yielded an additional 7 new articles. In total, our study included 75 articles (68 + 7). A total of 134 @entity1 were described. Most @entity1 had a single lesion (range: 1-10). The median length of the polyp was 4.0 cm (range: 0.4-17.0). The percentage of @entity1127 resected endoscopically increased from 0% before 1985 to 67% after 2005. Two perioperative complications were reported in 72 procedures (2.8%): a @entity1150 and a case of @entity3329 . Both of these occurred after open surgery. Follow-up data were available for 57 @entity1 . The median follow-up was 12 months (range: 1-180). Four @entity1 (7.0%) developed recurrent complaints: 2 had urinary stones, 1 had a ureteral stricture and 1 had recurrence of the polyp. Three of these events followed endoscopic resection, and occurred within a year after the procedure. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic resection of @entity1127 seems to be safe and effective. It is minimally invasive and should be considered the gold standard where endoscopic expertise is available. We advise follow-up imaging by computed tomographic intravenous urography after 3 months and ultrasound after 1 year to detect late complications.
