Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy: The Distal Ureteral Dilemma
Transitional cell carcinoma affecting the upper urinary tract, though uncommon, constitutes a serious urologic disease. Radical nephroureterectomy remains the treatment of choice but has undergone numerous modifications over the years. Although the standard technique has not been defined, the laparoscopic approach has gained in popularity in the last two decades. The most appropriate oncologica...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Ureteral Reimplant for Distal Ureteral Strictures
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The incidence of ureteral injuries is on the rise. Endoscopic treatment of long distal ureteral strictures is associated with poor success rates, and open ureteral reimplantation is a potentially morbid surgical procedure. The objective of this study was to review our early results with laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation. METHODS Between May 2004 and February 2007,...
متن کاملTechniques to resect the distal ureter in robotic/laparoscopic nephroureterectomy
Treatment of clinically-organ confined high grade urothelial carcinoma of the upper tract has historically comprised open nephroureterectomy, with the distal ureter and bladder cuff mobilized through a separate open pelvic incision. To decrease morbidity, urologists have increasingly adopted laparoscopy and robotics in performing nephroureterectomy. In many published series of laparoscopic neph...
متن کاملRobot-Assisted Laparoscopic Distal Ureteral Surgery
BACKGROUND The use of robotic assistance in adult genitourinary surgery has been successful in many operations, leading surgeons to test its use in other applications as well. METHODS Based on our use during prostatectomy, we have applied robotic surgery to complex distal ureteral surgeries since 2004 with successful outcomes. RESULTS A series of 11 patients who underwent robot-assisted lap...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Nephroureterectomy: Oncologic Outcomes
Purpose of Review: Laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LNU) is being increasingly performed at several centers across the world. This review analyzes the published perioperative and oncologic outcomes of this procedure. Recent Findings: Laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LNU) for upper tract TCC is performed pure laparoscopically (LNU) or hand-assisted (HALNU). The most debated issue...
