Open, laparoscopic, and robotic radical nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma
Most oncologic outcomes after NU do not differ by approach on long-term followup; however, CSS and RPFS appear to differ between RNU and ONU. ONU has traditionally been considered the approach with the lowest cost; however, our analysis demonstrates both RNU and LNU require lower costs than ONU, depending on the cost parameter analyzed. Among all approaches, the tetrafecta is best achieved with RNU.
