Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Technology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Bladder cancer treatment necessitates innovative minimally invasive techniques.
  • Cryoablation offers a precise method for tissue destruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the morphological changes and safety of full-thickness bladder cryoablation.
  • To assess contemporary percutaneous technology for bladder ablation.

Main Methods:

  • Cryoablation was performed on 24 porcine bladders using laparoscopic and cystoscopic approaches.
  • Single or double freeze/thaw cycles were applied without bladder drainage.
  • Histologic examination assessed acute, subacute, and chronic lesions; perforation was monitored.

Main Results:

  • Cryoablation consistently generated transmural necrosis of the bladder wall (serosa and mucosa).
  • Lesion size correlated with freezing duration and cryoprobe type.
  • No bladder perforations were observed during clinical evaluation or autopsy.

Conclusions:

  • Cryoablation effectively induces reliable tissue destruction without causing bladder perforation.
  • Preliminary findings support the safety and feasibility of cryoablation for bladder tumor treatment via various techniques.
