Oncologic outcomes following nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma are not compromised when the surgeon removes the bladder cuff via a transurethral incision.

Excision of the bladder cuff is an integral component of the gold standard treatment for upper tract urothelial carcinoma—radical nephroureterectomy. There is, however, no consensus as to the optimal approach to removal of the bladder cuff. After analyzing data from a large patient cohort, researchers in Taiwan now conclude that the method by which the bladder cuff is removed has no effect on cancer-specific outcomes.
