Objective: To evaluate the postoperative complications and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a solitary kidney after irreversible electroporation (IRE).
Materials And Methods: A total of 8 patients with 9 RCCs in a solitary kidney treated with computed tomography (CT)-guided IRE from February 2017 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up included contrast-enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging examinations at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and each year after IRE and the evaluation of the incidence of postoperative complications, renal function changes, local tumor recurrence, and metastasis.

Purpose Of The Study: Open (incisional) biopsies have long been accepted as the gold standard in diagnosing bone and soft tissue tumors. However, the main disadvantage of this method is that it can lead to increased contamination, hematoma, infection, and pathological fracture. Compared to open biopsies, percutaneous core needle biopsies are less invasive, do not require hospitalization, have low costs and low complication rates, and there is no need for wound healing in cases that require radiotherapy.

Background: Solid lung lesions are common in clinical practice, and percutaneous thermal ablation has been shown to be an effective treatment for these lesions. While computed tomography (CT)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) therapy is frequently used for adult solid lesions, it is rarely considered for pediatric cases.
Case Presentation: A case of an 8-year-old child with adrenal neuroblastoma and a left upper lung mass.

: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Surgnova Dophi™ M150E microwave ablation system in a prospective single-center observational study. : A cohort of 50 patients with 77 primary or secondary liver tumors underwent CT-navigated stereotactic percutaneous microwave ablation with curative intention using the Surgnova Dophi™ M150E system. The endpoints were primary technique efficacy (PTE), number of complications, ablation defect dimensions, and sphericity index compared to previously reported findings.
