Special Issue on Management of Small Renal Masses

Call for Papers
This special issue aims at summarizing distinct aspects of the management of small renal masses nowdays, focusing on its epidemiology, pathological aspects, prognosis, andmostly the different treatment strategies.
During the last two decades, we all have observed an astonishing increase in the detection of small renal masses, which, generally speaking, we assume to be under 4 cm although there is not a clear cut-off for the definition of a small renal mass. The i...

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy of solid renal masses without hilar clamping using a monopolar radiofrequency device (TissueLink).(Section on Urology)(Brief Article)
Southern Medical Journal
; We reviewed our initial experience with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for solid renal masses without clamping the renal vasculature using a monopolar device with low-volume saline irrigation for blunt dissection, hemostatic sealing, and coagulation of the renal parenchyma (TissueLink). From

Evaluating Renal Masses Using Image-Guided Biopsy.
American Family Physician
; The use of image-guided biopsy has played a limited role in the evaluation of renal masses. Intervention is based on the appearance of renal masses on imaging tests. Because of this, any renal mass that was labeled as suspicious required surgical intervention. With recent advances in computed

Evaluation of Incidental Renal and Adrenal Masses.
American Family Physician
; Incidental renal or adrenal masses are sometimes found during imaging for problems unrelated to the kidneys and adrenal glands. Knowledgeable family physicians can reliably diagnose these masses, thereby avoiding unnecessary worry and procedures for their patients. A practical and cost-efficient

Is Image-Guided Biopsy Accurate in the Diagnosis of Renal Masses?
American Family Physician
; Most renal masses can be diagnosed by imaging techniques, but when the nature of the lesion is not distinguishable on imaging, definitive diagnosis often requires biopsy. Richter and associates assessed the diagnostic accuracy of image-guided biopsy of renal masses that were indeterminate by

PROCEDURE PUTS FREEZE ON KIDNEY TUMORS
Evansville Courier & Press
; Two local doctors have partnered in a procedure that puts the big freeze on small, potentially cancerous kidney tumors. The procedure, cryoablation of renal masses, involves introducing a cryoprobe, essentially a high-tech needle, through the skin and into the tumor using a CT scanner for guidance,
