Drei Operationsmethoden bei Urothelkarzinom des distalen Ureters

Die radikale Nephroureterektomie (RNU) ist derzeit Standard bei der Behandlung von Urothelkarzinomen des oberen Harntrakts. Aufgrund des besseren onkologischen Outcomes sollte aber die distale Ureterektomie (DU) Mittel der ersten Wahl sein. Zu diesem Schluss kommen Seisen et al., die 3 verschiedene Operationsmethoden verglichen haben.
