title: Nephroureterectomy through a single lumbar incision combined with endoscopic incision of a bladder cuff.
abstract: Nephroureterectomy is the accepted approach in treating upper urinary tract carcinoma. We present a modification of transurethral resection of the intramural ureter, using endoscopic incision of a bladder cuff around the ureteral ostium as the first step in performing nephroureterectomy through a single lumbar incision.
