“…Severe collectingsystem fibrosis was present, with complete obstruction of the pelvicaliceal system. Other reported complications of RFA have included bowel injury, 8 pain, 15 probe-site paresthesia, 15 lumbosacral radiculopathy, 16 and delayed urinoma. 15 In a porcine model, Brashears and collaborators 11 evaluated the effects of deliberate ablation of the renal pelvis, major calices, and subsegmental renal vessels using percutaneous cryotherapy and RFA.…”

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as a minimally invasive nephron-sparing treatment for small (<4-cm) renal tumors. Post-RFA complications have been reported. We describe a patient who developed complete renal-pelvic obstruction after RFA. To our knowledge, this is the first such case to be reported and the second reported renal-unit loss as the result of collecting-system obstruction after RFA.

“…Cervical nerve radiofrequency does not require injection of drugs, and does not require changes to the cervical spine and surrounding soft tissues, which can reduce the impact on the stability of the cervical spine. Through the high-frequency electric eld of the radio frequency needle tip, it promotes the highspeed movement of water molecules in the local tissue to generate heat, and the resulting local high temperature can eliminate aseptic in ammation 12 , improve local blood circulation, and at the same time, it can inhibit the nociceptive transmission of peripheral nerve C bers ,to further relieve pain 13 . Cervical nerve radiofrequency and cervical disc plasma decompression are now commonly used in clinical minimally invasive surgery but there are few reports about their use in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.…”

Background With the gradual development of minimally invasive surgery, the treatment of cervical spondylosis is becoming more sophisticated and diversified. However, there was no previous study on the efficacy of intervertebral disc approach and nerve root approach for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. This trial aims to provide a basis for the clinical treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two cutting-edge surgical methods. Methods Collect relevant information of patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy in 3 hospitals and follow up on the postoperative curative effect of the two surgical methods. The improvement of pain and numbness symptoms and cervical spine function were evaluated by NRS, NDI, and Macnab scores, and the postoperative recovery time and the improvement rate of dizziness were comprehensively analyzed. After that, we analyzed the mechanism of the different curative effects of the two surgical methods and found the different characteristics of their therapeutic targets. Results Compared with before treatment, the NRS scores and NDI scores of the two groups of patients were significantly decreased after treatment (P<0.05). The postoperative NRS score and NDI score of the plasma group were significantly lower than those of the radiofrequency group (2 to 3, 10 to 13, P<0.01), and the therapeutic efficiency of the plasma group was higher than that of the radiofrequency group (82% to 61%, P<0.01). The improvement rate of dizziness symptoms in the plasma group was higher than that in the radiofrequency group (79% to 43%, P<0.05), however, the proportion of people in the radiofrequency group whose symptoms improved within one week after the operation was significantly higher than that in the plasma group (51% to 24%, P<0.01). Conclusions Both treatment options could effectively relieved the symptoms of patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, but the degree of relief was different. Compared with cervical nerve radiofrequency, cervical intervertebral disc plasma decompression can better relieve upper extremity symptoms in patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, promote the recovery of cervical spine function and improve cervical spondylosis-related dizziness symptoms, which may be closely related to the reduction of the pressure on the internal tissues of the cervical spine.
