Abstract:
Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC) remain rare. Radical Nephroureterectomy (RNU) is the Gold standard for management of these tumours. We are reporting a clinical image of a 45-year-old patient admitted in emergency for left lumbar pain (nephritic colic). The checkups requested computed tomography scanner showed a nephromegaly and left hydronephrosis upstream of a suspicious parietal thickening of the lumbar ureter with cortical and functional repercussion, neighborhood infiltration, and atypical lateral-aortic ganglia. Left lower calicial lithiasis of stasis, pancreatic nodular lesion and the left adrenal gland. The patient was a candidate for an open Radical Left Nephroureterectomy (RNU) (Figure 1). Figure 1: Radical Nephroureterectomy (RNU) picture U (Ureter) R (Renal). There are prognostic factors of tumors of the upper urinary excretory tract, which are the patient’s status, the preoperative, the operation and the anatomopathology [1]. According to current literature data, the oncology outcomes of radical nephrouretrectomy by laparoscopic are lower than those of open RNU surgery [2] .
