This study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of combining cystoscopic and laparoscopic techniques for total ureterectomy in treating urothelial cancer. The procedure resulted in no complications and no recurrence of disease in follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Urothelial cancer can necessitate radical surgical intervention.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly explored for complex urologic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of combined cystoscopic and laparoscopic total ureterectomy for urothelial cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Three patients with urothelial cancer underwent total ureterectomy using a combination of cystoscopic and laparoscopic approaches.
  • Two patients also underwent concomitant laparoscopic nephrectomy.
  • Bladder closure was achieved using a 12 mm GIA laparoscopic stapling device.

Main Results:

  • The procedure was completed without any intraoperative or postoperative complications.

  • Mean operative time was 8.2 hours, and mean hospital stay was 6 days.
  • Follow-up of 3 to 9 months showed no evidence of disease recurrence or staple line complications such as bladder stones.

    • Conclusions:

    • Combined cystoscopic and laparoscopic total ureterectomy is a safe and effective treatment option for urothelial cancer.
    • This minimally invasive approach offers favorable outcomes with no recurrence in the short-term follow-up period.
