To describe a bladder cuff excision method modified with ureteral catheterization to better visualize the ureteral orifice during robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU). We retrospectively analyzed 66 patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis and/or upper-mid urete...
