CT-Guided Renal Ablation

Advances in Image-Guided Urologic Surgery

Abstract

The past decade has witnessed a significant evolution in the management of small renal masses. As the incidence of renal cancer and incidental findings has increased, so have our options for assessing and treating them. Options currently available for solid enhancing renal tumors include initial biopsy, active surveillance, and surgical extirpation – such as radical nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy and probe-based thermal ablation. Nonthermal ablative technologies such as focused high-intensity beam radiotherapy (CyberKnife) and high-voltage bipolar electrical current also known as irreversible electroporation (NanoKnife) have limited applications to support their usage at this time. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HiFU), another form of thermal ablation, has yet to find a place in renal TA.
