Abstract: | The safety and efficacy of retroperitoneoscopic microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of renal hamartoma were evaluated.
From July 2007 to July 2009, a total of 16 cases of renal hamartoma were treated with retroperitoneoscopic MWA. Peri- and
post-operative findings were observed. Middle-term efficacy was assessed by contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CT)
in follow-up period. All patients received MWA of 1–5 points. The mean operative time was 85 min and the mean blood loss was
65 mL. During a median follow-up of 16 months, no evidence of disease recurrence was observed despite of incomplete ablation
in 1 case. Retroperitoneoscopic MWA is a relatively simple procedure with less impact to renal function and less complication.
The outcome of middle-term follow-up is satisfactory. Thus, retroperitoneoscopic MWA appears to be a safe and effective technique
for renal hamartoma in selected patients. |
