Robotic Nephroureterectomy

Robotic nephroureterectomy is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), a cancer affecting the kidney and ureter. This procedure involves the removal of the diseased kidney, ureter, and a portion of the bladder using a robotic-assisted surgical system. Compared to traditional open surgery, robotic nephroureterectomy offers greater precision, minimal blood loss, reduced pain, and a faster recovery. The high-definition 3D visualization and robotic instruments allow surgeons to perform delicate procedures with enhanced accuracy, improving patient outcomes.
