Summary
In laparoscopic operations for upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), three kinds of approach, the transperitoneal, retroperitoneal, and hand-assisted transperitoneal, have been reported. We have performed hand-assisted retroperitoneoscopic nephroureterectomy (HALS) since 2000. The surgical techniques and the operative results of 61 cases of HALS are described and analyzed. These procedures were effective and safe for upper urinary tract TCC.
