Endoscopic removal of lower ureter in nephroureterectomy.
Endoscopic removal of the lower ureteral stump by transurethral resection of the mucosal cuff and intussusception of the ureter is safe, effective, and relatively easy. Although the technique has been used primarily for malignant disease, the cases described herein illustrate that it also is useful for benign disease.
