title: Ureteral inverted papilloma: laparoscopic distal ureterectomy and boari flap.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of ureteral inverted papilloma (IP) with laparoscopic resolution.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a 30-year-old male patient who consulted for asymptomatic hematuria with the radiological finding of a  filling defect at the distal right ureter. Ureteroscopy biopsy was not diagnostic, so laparoscopic ureterectomy with a Boari flap technique was performed.  The pathology report showed a ureteral inverted papilloma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Laparoscopic ureteral replacement by Boari flap is a safe surgical alternative for defects in the distal ureter with the advantages of  a minimally invasive procedure.
