That beautiful moment when you are digging the ureter out of dense scar tissue on top of the iliac vessels waiting for sudden bleeding and then....the veil lifts and all is well. Isn't surgery awesome? SP retroperitoneoscopic ureteroneocystostomy, duplicated ureter, low anterior access (#SP).

Strength of #SP LAA retro access is the ability to easily access both posterior and anterior tumors. Here's a side by side showing R posterior and L anterior tumor exposure and resection - same access location. Same access for all tumors = greater efficiency.
