It is easy to misperceive the end of the distal ureter and perform an oncologically suboptimal bladder cuff excision, particularly in patients where exposure is difficult (e.g., an obese patient) and the excision is limited due to concerns about excising the contralateral ureteric orifice. Postoperative surveillance guidelines[sup.17] recommend a surveillance cystoscopy at 3 months after radical nephroureterectomy, and an incomplete distal ureteric resection usually manifests as a visible ureteric orifice at the time of cystoscopy.
