Gasless, hand-assisted retroperitoneoscopic nephroureterectomy for urothelial cancer of the upper urinary tract.

One hand was inserted by way of the small incision made in the lower abdomen. This method provides easy maneuverability and an acceptable operative time without opening the upper urinary tract.
