Retroperitoneoscopic renal pelvis resection as treatment of the urothelial tumor in a solitary kidney

Cent European J Urol. 2013;66(3):299-302. doi: 10.5173/ceju.2013.03.art12. Epub 2013 Nov 18.

Abstract

Urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract is relatively rare. The standard treatment is invariably radical nephroureterectomy. In selected cases organ sparing surgery is justified. We present the case of the tumor of the kidney pelvis in a solitary organ where laparoscopic approach was successfully applied.

Keywords: laparoscopy; organ sparing; transitional cell carcinoma.
