متن کاملRenal Cryoablation Application in Nephron-sparing Treatment
Purpose: Renal cryoablation is an evolving nephron-sparing treatment alternative for select patients with small renal tumors. Initially described via either an open or percutaneous technique, renal cryoablation has been performed by a laparoscopic approach with promising results. We critically review the cumulative evidence available regarding this technique. Materials and Methods: A review of ...
متن کاملRenal Function after Nephron - Sparing Surgery
The incidence of kidney cancer has been rising over the last two decades, especially in cases where the disease is localized and small in size (<4 cm). This is mainly due to the widespread use of routine abdominal imaging such as ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. As a result, the utilization of partial nephrectomy (PN) was increased for preserving the renal p...
