[Radical laparoscopic nephroureterectomy]

As with the increasingly common presence of laparoscopic surgery in renal adenocarcinoma, the same situation is also occurring with radical management of tumours of the upper urothelium. In this type of clinical condition, it is important to emphasize the different ways to mobilise the distal ureter (with transuretral resection or unroofing, pure laparoscopy, or open), and to take into account that this tumour has the highest risk of implantation at the ports of entry. Here, we conduct a literature review and up-date of the different approaches to the distal urethra.
