Application of the Radio-Guided Occult Lesion Localization Technique for Renal Lumpectomy: From the Laboratory to the Patient

Incidence of small renal masses is increasing, and preservation of healthy kidney tissue along surgical removal is a challenge, especially if the tumor is small or nonexophytic. To facilitate the location and complete excision of the tumor during surgery, we have implemented the application of the r...

Summary:Incidence of small renal masses is increasing, and preservation of healthy kidney tissue along surgical removal is a challenge, especially if the tumor is small or nonexophytic. To facilitate the location and complete excision of the tumor during surgery, we have implemented the application of the radio-guided occult lesion localization technique from initial idea to clinical application.
