“…RCC represents 3.5% of all malignancies and over the last two decades the incidence of RCC has increased by~2% [1]. This has been fuelled by an increase in incidentally diagnosed tumours on radiological imaging such as ultrasonography and CT. Incidental renal tumours now account for 48-66% of all renal tumours [2,3]. While these help in early diagnosis of tumours, they are usually localised RCC allowing for nephronsparing surgery (NSS) and ablative treatments [1,4].…”

Objective: To investigate the bibliometric (publication) trends in surgical and ablative treatment of localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC) over a period of 16-years, from 2000 to 2015, as publication trends reflect clinical practice and new innovations. Material and methods: We performed a systematic review using PubMed over a 16-year period from 2000 to 2015 for all published papers on surgical and ablative management of renal tumours. Data were further analysed in two time periods, period-1 (2000-2007) and period-2 (2008-2015). Results: During the last 16 years a total of 2415 papers were published on surgical (n = 1662, 69%) and ablative (n = 753, 31%) management of RCC. This included partial nephrectomy (PN; n = 1662, 69%), cryoablation (CA; n = 405, 17%), and radiofrequency ablation (RFA; n = 348, 14%). When comparing the two time periods for PN, during period-2, the change was +189% (P < 0.001), +69% (P = 0.004) and +4600% (P < 0.001) for open PN, laparoscopic PN and robotic PN, respectively. Regarding ablative techniques, a change of +109% (P = 0.002) and +78% (P = 0.036) was seen for CA and RFA, respectively. There was also a significant rise in percutaneous CA when compared to laparoscopic CA (P < 0.002). Conclusions: There has been a rise in all forms of PN and ablative techniques over the last 16 years. This rise has been particularly steep for robotic PN potentially reflecting a change in surgical practice.

“…The main limitations of CT include exposure to ionizing radiation, a high rate of incidental findings, increased cost per investigation, and its lack of demonstrated correlation with improved patient outcomes. [8][9][10][11] Ultrasonography, which is readily available in most emergency departments, 12 presents a radiation-sparing alternative for the investigation of suspected nephrolithiasis and, in addition, has point-of-care applications. However, image quality is user-dependent and can be limited by body habitus.…”
