Kamihira O et al. - Results of a nationwide survey on laparoscopic nephroureterectomy in Japan are reported. Recurrence-free survival rate was 42%, and overall survival rate was 70% in a 5-yr follow-up period. In addition to tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, tumor multifocality, and existence of previous or concomitant bladder tumor, male sex and use of a hand-assisted approach were elucidated as high risk factors, especially for recurrence-free survival.
