Surgical management of renal lesions using in situ hypothermia and ischemia.
Many renal lesions that were once treated by nephrectomy now lend themselves to surgical correction. The value of in situ hypothermia and ischemia produced by occlusion of the renal artery is detailed. This technique has proved to be a simple, safe and effective surgical approach to the management of most difficult renal lesions.
