BACKGROUND: Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) represents the standard of care for high grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Open and laparoscopic approaches are well-established treatments, but evidence regarding robotic RNU is growing. The ...

To examine a new technique of robot-assisted nephroureterectomy without robot reldocking or patient repositioning. Patients diagnosed as upper tract urothelial carcinoma treated with this modality between November 2015 and January 2019 at Departmen...
First proposed by Kimball and Ferris in 1933 for the treatment of papillary tumors in the upper urinary tract, radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) with bladder cuff excision remains the gold standard for management of high-risk upper tract urothelial ca...

INTRODUCTION:: One of the most remarkable characteristics of urothelial carcinomas is multifocality. However, occurrence of synchronous bladder cancer and upper urinary tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) is exceptional. Minimally invasive approach for th...
INTRODUCTION: To clarify the safety and efficacy of en bloc simultaneous robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU) for synchronous muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) ...
INTRODUCTION: Although robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU) has been increasingly used worldwide, the history of RANU remains short, and the optimal surgical method for performing RANU has yet to be established. Here we introduce the ideal approa...
INTRODUCTION: While various surgical techniques have been reported for open and minimally invasive treatment of upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC), the procedure of robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (NU) with bladder cuff has never been reported us...
Upper-tract urothelial carcinoma is a relatively rare malignancy. Current guidelines strongly recommend radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision and template-based lymph node dissection for all high-risk upper-tract urothelial carcinomas...
