A duplicated collecting system is a common congenital anomaly of the urinary tract. However, late symptomatic presentation in adulthood is uncommon. We report the first case of left heminephrectomy, ureterectomy and radical prostatectomy using the da Vinci SP (single port) surgical system in a 64-year-old patient with localized prostate cancer and duplicated system with ectopic ureteral insertion into the prostatic urethra. The procedure was completed without technical difficulties or intraoperative adverse events. We demonstrate that the da Vinci SP robot allows for efficient performance of concomitant surgeries on the kidney and prostate without the limitations reported with single site surgeries.

Objective: To determine whether the area deprivation index (ADI), a surrogate for socioeconomic status (SES) associated with patient residence, affected UTUC staging, recurrence rates, and mortality.
Methods: Patients undergoing radical nephroureterectomy or ureterectomy for UTUC at a single institution between February 2010 and August 2021 were classified by ADI. A 50th percentile cut-off of ADI classified patients as "advantaged" or "disadvantaged.
Totally Retroperitoneal One-Position Approach for Laparoscopic Radical Surgery in Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Clinical Trial Evaluation.

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.

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) accounts for 5-10% of urothelial cancers and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Increasing incidence of UTUC has been observed since the 1970's, alongside the evolution of advance imaging techniques, precision biopsy equipment, and risk stratification models. The high morbidity of radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) which is still the gold-standard treatment for high-risk UTUC, has driven the development of kidney-sparing surgery alternatives for low-risk UTUC.

Case Presentation: A 75-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy for left renal pelvic cancer at another hospital. During follow-up, a papillary tumor was found in the bladder on cystoscopy, and a continuous tumor was found in the residual ureter on computed tomography.
Robotic surgery of the urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract single surgeon initial experience, 66 consecutive cases.

Purpose: Robotic surgery is increasingly utilized in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract (UTUC). This study investigates the advantages and burden of robot-assisted surgical treatment of the urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract in a referral urological department, along with their functional and oncological results.
Methods: The study included 66 prospectively enrolled patients who were surgically treated by a single, robotically specialized surgeon between July 2019 and December 2023.
