Abstract:
A 74-year-old man with multiple medical comorbidities and a 3.6 cm right posterior renal hilar mass, biopsy-confirmed as papillary renal cell carcinoma, underwent a robot-assisted retroperitoneal renal cryoablation. We report the feasibility of robot-assisted retroperitoneal cryoablation of a renal tumor and describe our technique.
