Partial nephrectomy is technically challenging and potentially difficult because of existing comorbidities and adhesions from previous surgery.

Over the past decade, a number of probe ablative therapies have emerged for the treatment of patients with localized renal tumors. Cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have been studied in the greatest detail. We present the results of 164 laparoscopic cryoablations and 82 percutaneous RFAs performed in our institution and compare them retrospectively in terms of complications, impact on...
To determine the long-term clinical and radiographic success of holmium laser endoureterotomy for nonobliterative benign ureteral strictures. A total of 19 patients (12 women and 7 men, mean age 47.5 years) underwent holmium laser endoureterotomy for iatrogenic ureteral strictures (seven proximal, seven mid, and five distal) using semirigid ureteroscopy and a 360-μm fiber at 1 J and 10 Hz. Success...
