Current guidelines and expert opinions offer some exceptions to this based on patient characteristics, disease status, and the contralateral kidney. METHODS: We present a rare case of a patient with horseshoe kidney, bilateral large nephrolithiasis, high-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma in one moiety, and relative parenchymal thinning of the contralateral side. The patient was treated in a percutaneous minimally invasive, nephron sparing approach. Computed Tomography (CT) and Fluoroscopy images are provided, as well as live video of all procedures. RESULTS: Videos of multiple procedures are provided to demonstrate percutaneous resection of the tumor, stone lithotripsy, and repeat biopsies. The patient also had Intra collecting system instillations of gemcitabine and docetaxel, and video of post-installation percutaneous flexible nephroscopy is provided. CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive percutaneous resection of high-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma is a safe procedure in select cases. Current guidelines may not apply to all patients; unique scenarios with upper tract urothelial carcinoma may require personalized decision making and treatment at specialized centers.
