Outcomes of hand-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy for managing upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma-China Medical University Hospital experience

Hand-assisted procedures are appropriate for surgeons with limited experience with laparoscopic surgery.

To treat upper urinary tract TCC with synchronous urinary bladder TCC, HALNU and TURBT together seems to be a safe and efficient technique.
