Laparoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation Combined with Surgical Excision for Exophytic Renal Angiomyolipoma: A Novel Technique Based on Tumor Vasculature Features of Enhancing Renal Masses Toward Hilar Off-Clamping Nephron-Sparing Surgery
Abstract:Our initial experience suggests that sealing the tumor vessels by radiofrequency ablation based on the tumor vasculature features of a renal mass is an alternative to hilar clamping in laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery. Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation and tumor excision are a definitive and safe minimally invasive procedure that allows the successful removal of exophytic sporadic AML mass with low R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score.
