Laparoscopic Renal Cryoablation: 8-Year, Single Surgeon Outcomes

Laparoscopic renal cryoablation is effective oncological treatment for a renal mass in select patients. A disease specific survival rate of 92% at 5 years and 83% at 10 years is possible. Preceding radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma was the only independent factor predicting disease-free and disease specific survival.
