Abstract
Taiwan has a high incidence of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes following transperitoneal hand-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (TP-HALNU) and transperitoneal pure laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (TP-LNU) from the Taiwan nationwide UTUC collaboration database using different parameters, including surgical volumes.
Subjects
hand-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy; laparoscopic nephroureterectomy; oncological outcome; surgical volume; upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma; urothelial carcinoma
