Authors' recommendations:
Low-quality evidence shows that cryoablation shows a lower rate of complications but a significantly higher local rate of relapse than partial nephrectomy, the standard of care.
Low-quality evidence shows that treating kidney tumors with laparoscopic versus percutaneous cryoablation is similar in terms of survival rates and complications.
Low-quality evidence showing the superiority of cryoablation versus radiofrequency ablation in terms of local tumor progression was found.
The clinical practice guidelines surveyed and the United States private health sponsors consider kidney cryoablation as the treatment option in those patients with a small-size kidney mass and also advanced age, or comorbidities such as chronic kidney failure, single kidney condition or a limited life expectancy.
