Abstract
The study objection is to describe our results of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of kidney tumors including tumors of the sole transplanted kidney in a patient with terminal renal failure. Materials and methods . In 2016—2018, RFAfor kidney tumors was performed in 12 patients (2 women and 10 men). Patients’ age varied between 25 and 67 years. A clinical case of performing RFA for kidney tumor which previously was transplanted from a living donor for treatment of terminal chronic renal failure as an outcome of congenital kidney dysplasia, secondary pyelonephritis of continuously recurrent course is presented. Results. Histological examination diagnosed clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (G). Postoperative period was within normal. At the time of release the patient»s health was satisfactory. Control magnetic resonance imaging after 6 months didn’t show signs of recurrence or repeat tumor growth at the destruction site. Two years after RFA, control examinations of the transplant didn’t show signs of recurrence. Conclusion . RFA can be considered a safe and effective method of treatment of small renal tumors including in transplanted kidneys.
