Efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic “one-step” radical nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff excision

1

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) accounts for 5–10% of uroepithelial carcinomas and often presents at an advanced stage.
2

Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) and bladder cuff excision (BCE) are standard treatments for high-risk UTUC.
3

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic 'one-step' RNU improves surgical outcomes by reducing trauma and postoperative recovery time.
4

The study analyzed 69 patients who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic 'one-step' RNU from January 2019 to June 2023.
5

The surgical procedure was performed without repositioning or redocking, enhancing efficiency and safety in UTUC treatment.
