Keyhole Destruction Of A Kidney Growth

Through several small incisions with a camera and long instruments, the surgeon destroys a growth in the kidney by applying energy directly to it rather than cutting it out. The treated tissue dies in place and is gradually reabsorbed or left as scar. It is an option when a growth is best treated without removing part of the kidney.
