Abstract:
The treatment of RCC is rapidly changing. The introduction of minimally invasive thermal ablation techniques offers a safe and accurate alternative to open surgery in the treatment of renal tumors. Because of its technical benefits, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation took the lead among these minimally invasive techniques. Supported by convincing results from experimental studies, patient data prove this procedure to be safe and efficient. As a minimally invasive and nephron-sparing technique, it is well suited for patients with a single kidney, multiple tumors, or contraindications for open surgery.
