Partial nephrectomy using a microwave tissue coagulator (Microtaze^®)

Abstract

We report two cases who underwent partial nephrectomy using Micorotaze^® for a small renal tumor or a recurrent renal cell carcinoma after ipsilateral partial nephrectomy. This procedure is one of the options as a surgical treatment for small renal tumors. However, its indication should be carefully considered according to the size and the location of the tumors.
