Hybrid Transureteral Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Nephrectomy: A Feasibility Study in the Porcine Model

Abstract

This nonsurvival porcine feasibility study demonstrates the successful performance of transureteral nephrectomy. This approach shows promise as a way to decrease the invasiveness of NOTES nephrectomy by using the ureteral orifice as an access site.
