Affiliation(s)
ABSTRACT
Objectives: We present a retrospective analysis of follow-up strategy adapted by different clinician in managing UTUC cases. Methods: Case notes of 83 patients undergoing nephroureterectomy for UTUC at our institute were selected. Their follow-up pattern and any imaging protocols for upper tract surveillance were studied retrospectively. Results: Our study highlighted diversity in clinicians’ overall approach at a time when no approved guidelines or standardised protocols were available. Conclusions: This study clearly highlighted the need for a protocol driven approach; which has lately been addressed with the introduction of EAU guidelines on this subject matter and majority of practising Urologists will adhere to it.
