Abstract
Proof of the oncological safety of laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU) relies on truly long-term outcome being at least equivalent to that of open surgery. We compared the long-term oncological outcome of laparoscopic versus open nephroureterectomy (ONU) in patients with upper tract transitional cell carcinoma (TCC).
