Abstract
Introduction: Radical nephroureterectomy with resection of a bladder cuff remains the “gold standard” in the treatment of upper urinary tract transitional cell tumors. McDonald is the first to describe a ureteral stripping technique with subsequent endoscopic resection of the bladder cuff around the ureteral orifice during nephroureterectomy, which is called transurethral endoscopic ureterectomy and is a less invasive alternative of open surgical ureterectomy in patients with transitional cell renal pelvic carcinoma. Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of transurethral endoscopic ureterectomy during nephroureterectomy for transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis and calyces.
