Review Meta Analysis Comparative StudySystematic review and meta-analysis of thermal ablation versus surgical nephrectomy for small renal tumours.
A systematic review was undertaken to provide a meta-analysis of clinical trials comparing thermal ablation with surgical nephrectomy for small renal tumours. ⋯ Thermal ablation of small renal masses produces oncologic outcomes similar to surgical nephrectomy and is associated with significantly lower overall complication rates and a significantly less decline of renal function. More randomized, controlled trials are necessary.
