| Popis: | Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser ablation of upper-tract urothelial tumors has been well documented in the urologic literature. However, the standard treatment of choice remains radical nephroureterectomy with excision of a cuff of the bladder for most patients. We report on a patient with recurrent superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis in a solitary kidney treated with Nd:YAG laser with a 9-year follow-up. |
