“…Ablation of small renal masses is associated with complications like; hemorrhage, vascular injury, and urothelial injury resulting in urine leak or stricture [6] . The stricture due to thermal injury is higher in radiofrequency ablation than in cryoablation, in which the stricture formation is very rare with one case report in literature [ 3 , 4 , 7 ]. The cause of ureteric stricture is the involvement of the upper ureter with the cryoablation created during the freezing-thawing cycles of cryoablation [8] .…”
