title: [Oncologically safe simplified nephroureterectomy: combination with percutaneous ureteral the ligation-section].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We propose a modification to open nephroureterectomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  By a single incision (lumbar incision) a percutaneous ligation-section of the finely dissected terminal ureter is performed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This technique offers a better quality of life in the immediate postoperative period, shortens the surgical time, and it has the advantage of being oncologically safe, avoiding a double surgery.
