We report on 2 patients with ureteroscopically treated renal pelvic transitional cell carcinoma in whom the ureteral tunnel was incised. By rendering the ureterovesical junction incompetent, we created a widely patent refluxing ureteral orifice. During the last 2 years we have been able to perform repeatedly office-based flexible surveillance ureteroscopy without fluoroscopy and without oral or parenteral analgesics in both patients. © 1993 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 150Issue 5 Part 1November 1993Page: 1440-1443 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 1993 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.Keywordscarcinomakidney neoplasmsureterendoscopytransitional cellfollow-up studiesMetricsAuthor Information Kurt Kerbl More articles by this author Ralph V.
