Abstrakt: Background: Patients with solitary kidneys are amenable to postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after PN. We compared the functional and oncological outcomes of cryoablation (CA) and PN in patients with a solitary kidney and a cT1a renal mass.
Methods: From a single-institution series, we analyzed 74 patients (31 PN, 43 CA) with a solitary kidney who underwent treatment for a cT1a renal mass. The functional outcomes were AKI and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) preservation. Oncological outcomes were recurrence and death. Linear mixed-effects and logistic regression models were used for functional outcomes analysis, whereas oncological outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results: Median follow-up was 63.9 months. PN group had lower median age (59 years vs. 68, P<0.001) and larger median tumor size (2.80 cm vs. 2.0, p =0.003). AKI was more common in the PN group on postoperative day 1 (58% vs. 2.8%, P<0.001). However, only one patient in the PN group required temporary dialysis in the perioperative period. eGFR preservation was similar at postoperative 3 months (89% vs. 90%, P=0.083), or 12 months (85% vs. 94%, P=0.2) follow-up. CA group had higher recurrence rate (29% vs. 3.2%, P=0.005), and worse recurrence-free survival (P=0.027). Overall survival (OS) was comparable (P=0.31).
Conclusions: In a solitary kidney setting, CA is associated with a lower risk of AKI at postoperative day 1 compared to PN. Functional outcome is comparable upon longer follow-up. The local recurrence rates are significantly higher in the CA group with no significant difference in OS.
