Open publisher page 127 citations

Abstract

PURPOSE: We determined the feasibility of renal cryotherapy in humans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two patients with tumors in a solitary kidney were treated with renal cryotherapy. RESULTS: Both patients tolerated renal cryotherapy well with no change in renal function and no postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: Cryoablation of select renal lesions can be performed safely with minimal loss of renal function.
