Pure Retroperitoneoscopic Extravesical Standardized Seeable (PRESS) excision of distal ureter and bladder cuff in radical nephroureterectomy: step-by-step technique.

CONCLUSIONS: Herein, we demonstrate a standardized retroperitoneoscopic RNU technique that is safe and reproducible, enabling the visual confirmation of complete BCE and facilitating LND. BCE trifecta should be a routine goal in minimally invasive RNU. Prospective comparison with the standard open surgical technique is warranted. PMID: 32284528 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
