Upper Urinary Tract Tumor Surgery

For ureter and renal pelvis tumors, we plan robotic nephroureterectomy or a kidney-sparing endoscopic approach, depending on where the disease sits.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Da Vinci Xi Robotic Precision

The Da Vinci Xi's 3D vision and tremor filtration enable millimetric dissection along the kidney, ureter and bladder.

Oncologic Integrity (En-Bloc)

The kidney, entire ureter and bladder cuff are removed in one piece, consistent with oncologic principles.

Kidney-Sparing Option

In suitable, low-risk, single-focus tumors, an endoscopic laser kidney-sparing approach is aimed for.

Single-Session Multi-Region Surgery

The Da Vinci Xi's flexible tissue access allows robotic intervention from kidney to bladder in one session.

Rapid Recovery

Smaller incisions bring less pain, a short hospital stay and a fast return to daily life.

International Patient Support

End-to-end international patient services including visa, transfer, accommodation and a medical interpreter.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.
