Abstract
GELABERT MAS, Antoni; HERNANDEZ DEL POZO, Héctor and PLACER SANTOS, José. Oncologically safe simplified nephroureterectomy: cobiation with percutaneous ureteral the ligation-section. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2008, vol.61, n.4, pp.521-523. ISSN 0004-0614.
Objectives: We propose a modification to open nephroureterectomy. Methods: By a single incision (lumbar incision) a percutaneous ligation-section of the finely dissected terminal ureter is performed. Results/Conclusions: This technique offers a better quality of life in the immediate postoperative period, shortens the surgical time, and it has the advantage of being oncologically safe, avoiding a double surgery.
Keywords : Nephroureterectomy; Lumbar incision; Upper urinary tract tumor; Terminal ureter.
