Optimized Patient Positioning and Port Placement for Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Nephroureterectomy in Distal Ureteral Carcinoma: A Technical Case Report
Our modified RANU technique, utilizing optimized patient surgical positioning and port placement, enabled safe and effective performance of facilitated partial cystectomy and PLND in a patient with invasive distal ureteral carcinoma. This approach offers a valuable option for challenging cases and warrants further investigation.
