Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy
Laparoscopic nephroureterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), a type of cancer affecting the kidney and ureter. This procedure involves the removal of the affected kidney, ureter, and a portion of the bladder using small incisions and specialized laparoscopic instruments. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic nephroureterectomy offers reduced pain, minimal blood loss, smaller scars, and a faster recovery. This technique is preferred for its high precision and lower risk of complications, making it an effective option for eligible patients.
