title: [Endourologic treatment of tumors of the superior urothelium: results and clinical course].
abstract: Presentation of 31 patients with suspected diagnosis of upper urothelium tumour seen between 1986 and 1991. In agreement with our study protocol and the endourological treatment followed in this type of tumours, there were eight false positive, which were excluded. Five cases were treated by retrograde ureterorenoscopy while in the remaining 18 cases the anterograde percutaneous approach was used. A review of both the aspects of endoeurological treatment and the evolution of these patients during that period is included.
