Image-Guided Ablation (Cryoablation / MWA)
Ablation may be considered when renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is small to medium in size, the location is suitable for percutaneous access, or open/laparoscopic surgery is not suitable but symptoms and bleeding risk need to be controlled. The decision considers lesion size and location, distance from t

How Image-Guided Ablation (Cryoablation / MWA) is performed
Percutaneous puncture is performed under imaging guidance such as ultrasound or CT, and cryoablation or microwave ablation needles are inserted. Typically, the procedure is performed according to preset energy or freeze-thaw cycles, with real-time observation of the ablation range and isolation and cooling measures taken to protect adjacent structures; after reaching the expected range, the needle is withdrawn and hemostasis is performed. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, bleeding, and renal function. The goal is to inactivate the lesion and preserve as much renal parenchyma as possible. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
