Core Tip

Core Tip: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its rarity. Advances in endoscopic and percutaneous techniques provide valuable alternatives for selected patients, warranting further exploration in this evolving field. However, complications from these new procedures are still infrequent, and their treatment or management poses a new challenge for the doctor. With this case, we aim to propose a damage management approach to handle future complications.
