Thermal ablative techniques are used increasingly to treat renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Percutaneous cryoablation of tumors at the upper pole of the kidney may result in pulmonary damage due to the intervening lung parenchyma. We treated two patients with RCC in the upper pole of the kidney by inducing pneumothorax with a pneumoperitoneum needle before proceeding to percutaneous cryoablation. The procedures, performed under computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy guidance, resulted in complete tumor necrosis. There was no pulmonary damage.
热消融技术越来越多地用于治疗肾细胞癌 (RCC)。经皮冷冻消融肾脏上极肿瘤可能会因中间的肺实质而导致肺部损伤。我们在进行经皮冷冻消融之前，通过气腹针诱导气胸来治疗两个位于肾脏上极的 RCC 患者。这些在计算机断层扫描 (CT) 透视引导下进行的操作导致了肿瘤的完全坏死。没有出现肺部损伤。
