Nephroureterectomy
Nephroureterectomy: Surgical Treatment for Upper Urinary Tract Cancer
Nephroureterectomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), a type of cancer affecting the kidney and ureter. This procedure involves the complete removal of the affected kidney, ureter, and a portion of the bladder where the ureter connects. Nephroureterectomy can be performed using open surgery, laparoscopic techniques, or robotic-assisted methods, with minimally invasive approaches offering reduced pain, less blood loss, and faster recovery. Choosing an experienced urologic surgeon is essential to ensure the best surgical outcomes and effective cancer treatment.
