 Cryoablation (Cryotherapy)
Cryoablation (Cryotherapy) is a surgical technique that destroys tumor tissue by freezing it. Through the use of highly specialized cooling rods, the cells of a tumor are frozen starting at the center of the lesion. Vital structures (non-tumorous), such as blood vessels, are not disturbed by the freezing process. Cryoablation is an excellent tool for urologists to use in the treatment of certain kidney tumors. Paired with laparoscopy, cryoablation makes treatment of small to medium sized renal masses less invasive. This translates into shorter hospital stays and less significant complications without compromising treatment efficacy. Cryoablation of kidney tumors performed laparoscopically generally requires patients to remain in the hospital for 24 hours. Often, a specialized ultrasound probe is used to guide surgeons in precisely locating tumors within the kidney to accurately treat cancers while leaving healthy kidney tissue unharmed. Furthermore, very little bleeding (if any) occurs during or after cryoablation of renal tumors. To make an appointment or for more information, please call 516.627.6188
