Editing Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Cancer (section)

====== Options ======
*'''<span style="color:#ff0000">Segmental ureterectomy with ureteroureterostomy</span>'''
** '''<span style="color:#ff0000">Small, unifocal tumors (typically 1 cm or smaller) tumors isolated to a short segment of the proximal or mid-ureter requiring resection of ≤2 cm or less of ureteral length to allow for primary ureteroureterostomy.</span>'''
***Longer sections of ureteral involvement and resection may require more complex reconstruction techniques when kidney sparing is desired.
*'''<span style="color:#ff0000">Distal ureterectomy with ureteral reimplant</span>'''
**'''<span style="color:#ff0000">Preferred treatment for surgically eligible patients with HR and unfavorable LR cancers endoscopically confirmed as confined to the lower ureter in a functional renal unit</span>'''
***Tumor ablation considered alternative options to the gold-standard of extirpative resection
****Tumor ablation may yield less optimal results and require multiple additional procedures
**Most favorable candidates for distal ureterectomy are patients who
***Have ureteral tumors in the lower third of the ureter
***Sufficiently mobile bladder with capacity to facilitate reimplantation with or without reconfiguration of the bladder to facilitate a tension-free anastomosis (i.e., Boari flap or psoas hitch maneuver).
