A single-incision transvesical approach to open distal ureterectomy is described herein. The surgical technique has been applied successfully to 6 consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy with open distal ureterectomy for upper tract transitional cell carcinoma. The technique presented allows easy and effective excision of the ipsilateral distal ureter, ureteral orifice, and bladder cuff as well as closure of the single cystotomy. Further studies with long-term follow-up data are necessary to confirm the satisfactory preliminary clinical experience presented in this report.

Background: The standard of care for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) traditionally involved open nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision. Despite the adoption of transabdominal laparoscopic one-stage nephroureterectomy to mitigate this, the persistently high rate of postoperative intestinal obstruction remains a clinical challenge. This study introduces an innovative approach: a single-position, completely retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy coupled with a 75-45-degree positional change for bladder cuff resection in the treatment of UTUC.

Introduction: Surgical resection by heminephrectomy is considered the preferred treatment for duplex kidneys with non-functioning moieties. Ureteral remnant may be ligated or left in situ to avoid the risk of injury to the healthy ipsilateral ureter; however, distal redundant ureter may sometimes cause long-term complications and require further reoperation. Upper pole heminephrectomy is a surgical procedure often performed to address various renal pathologies, such as duplex kidney or non-functioning upper renal moieties.

Introduction And Importance: Ureteric stump syndrome [USS] is a series of febrile recurrent lower abdominal pain, urinary tract infections, and hematuria that sometimes present with empyema as a rare complication. The ureteric stump is left after ureteric re-implantation due to an impacted stone at the Vesical-ureteric junction [VUJ], or after nephrectomy of a non-functional kidney due to a distal stone; the ureteral stump forms a source of infection to the urinary bladder, in addition to long-term obstructive stones left at the ureteric stamp. This usually cause chronic irritation of the mucosa and potentially change to metaplasia, dysplasia and malignancy.

This case report describes a male in his late 40s with a 4 cm pelvic mass compressing the left distal ureter, resulting in left hydroureteronephrosis. Biopsy of the mass was suggestive of a solitary fibrous tumour. The patient underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of the left pelvic mass.
