Comparison Between Partial Nephrectomy and Ablation for Renal Tumor

Comparison Between Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy and Ultrasound Guided Percutaneous Microwave Ablation for T1a Renal Tumor

The therapeutic effectiveness of ultrasound guided cooled-probe microwave ablation and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy on T1a renal cell carcinoma is compared to find a better approach for renal tumor.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with the RCC of ≤4 cm maximum diameter were included in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients having RCCs with vascular invasion, extrarenal spread or with benign renal tumors were excluded.
