Key Points

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for Bosniak III-IV cysts.
Conducted ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation
Focused on nephron-sparing techniques
Retrospective analysis over five years
RFA was found to be safe for managing Bosniak III-IV cysts
Patients experienced minimal complications
Successful cyst management over a five-year period

Implication

This institutional experience demonstrates the safety and feasibility of RFA for renal cystic lesions, implying effective treatment options.

Abstract

Ultrasound-guided RFA appears to be a safe and feasible nephron-sparing option for the management of Bosniak III-IV renal cystic lesions in selected patients.
