Laparoscopic Ablation of Symptomatic Peripelvic Renal Cysts

Journal of Endourology (2004)

K. Doumas Konstadinos Skrepetis M. Lykourinas

We report our experience with laparoscopic ablation of symptomatic peripelvic renal cysts.Two men and two women (mean age 58) with a peripelvic renal cyst associated with ipsilateral flank pain and obstruction were treated by transperitoneal laparoscopic ablation. One patient had an episode of pyelonephritis before detection of the cyst. Cyst size ranged from 4.5 to 6.5 cm (mean 5.5 cm). Dissection of the cyst was intricate because of the close proximity to the renal hilum and the compressed collecting system. Patients were followed with radiologic imaging at 6 and 12 months and once a year thereafter.In all cases, the laparoscopic procedure was successful. The operative time ranged from 120 to 190 minutes (mean 155 minutes), and the mean blood loss was <150 mL. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.7 days (range 2-5 days), and the time of convalescence was 14 days. Complications consisted of a subcutaneous hematoma. At a mean follow-up of 23 months, symptoms and collecting system obstruction had resolved in all patients.Although laparoscopic ablation of peripelvic renal cysts is technically challenging, it is a safe and efficacious procedure and offers a favorable minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of symptomatic cysts.

Radiofrequency ablation of renal tumors in patients unfi t for surgery. Our experience.

PubMed (2011)

Ioannis Gkialas M Kontraros P Vassilakis S Spanopoulos Emmanouil Theodoropoulos

To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the minimally invasive percutaneous technique radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with small renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) who are unfit for surgery.From January 2008 to November 2009, 7 patients (5 males and 2 females, median age 78 years) with small RCCs were treated with RFA. The indications for RFA were either inoperability due to high cardiovascular and pulmonary risk or a high probability of complete renal failure after nephrectomy. Exclusion criteria were tumor size larger than 6 cm and the localization of the tumor within the renal pelvis.All RFAs were technically successful in terms of complete tumor ablation and all procedures could be done under conscious sedation. Complications after RFA included transient rise in plasma creatinine in 2 patients and hydrocalyx at 18 months in one. The mean hospital stay was 3.14 days (range 2-5).RFA has limitations such as an uncertain long-term oncological result and need for strict follow up. Physicians must be aware of these limitations and present them clearly to the patients. It is a safe treatment modality that, with longer follow-up, could play a more important role in the care of patients with renal masses due to its potential for decreased morbidity, shorter convalescence, and the ability to avert the higher risk of extirpative surgery in an aging patient population.
