Ureteral Tumors, Urothelial Carcinoma, Laser Ablation, Kidney-Sparing Surgery, NephroureterectomyAbstract
Upper urinary tract tumors constitute a small portion of urothelial carcinomas, and after diagnosis, the gold standard treatment is nephroureterectomy-partial cystectomy, but kidney-sparing surgical methods appear as alternative treatment in single-focal, small, low-grade and staged tumors. In this case, we aimed to review the literature and the retrograd laser ablation treatment we applied to the urothelial tumor located in the distal ureter.
