Modified laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy with transurethralexcision of intramural ureter.

We report a modified technique for laparoscopic nephroureterectomy that results in complete removal of the specimen, including a cuff of bladder mucosa, while avoiding tumor cell spillage. A modified lithotomy position allows simultaneous laparoscopic and transurethral access without repositioning. Contraindications are juxtavesical or intramural ureteral tumor.
