Elective management of transitional cell carcinoma of the distal ureter: can kidney-sparing surgery be advised?
Treatment by distal ureteric resection is feasible in patients with primary TCC of the distal ureter. The long-term oncological outcome seems to be comparable with that of patients treated by RNU. Furthermore, kidney preservation is advantageous if adjuvant or salvage chemotherapy is required.
Appropriate use of intracameral triamcinolone acetonide is beneficial to visualize and remove the vitreous body from the anterior chamber during cataract surgery, and sufficient washing of the anterior chamber is necessary to avoid complications.
