Abstract
Contemporary trend analysis of a large national data set confirms the occurrence of a significant shift toward minimally invasive nephroureterectomy (MINU), which is gradually replacing open nephroureterectomy (ONU). A minimally invasive approach is associated with a lower risk of complications. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are non-clinical factors that ultimately may have an impact on the outcomes of the nephroureterectomy (NU) procedure (https://doi.org/10.1245/s10434-024-15565-6).
