The purpose of this project was to evaluate perioperative outcomes (complications, hospital stay, transfusion rate, readmission rate) for patients with 4-7cm RCC tumors treated with either MWA or surgery. METHODS Comprehensive data was analyzed for consecutive RCC patients with tumors 4-7cm following treatment with MWA, partial nephrectomy (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN). Patients with metastases or venous thrombus were excluded. Complications within 90 days were classified using the Clavien-Dindo system. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis was performed to determine factors associated with perioperative outcomes. RESULTS An institutional database identified 42 MWA, 74 PN and 211 RN (n=327) treated from 2000-2017. Perioperative complications were identified in 9 (21%) MWA, 18 (24%) PN and 28 (13%) RN patients. Patients treated with MWA had higher Charlson co-morbidity scores (p<0.0001) and were older (p<0.0001) compared to patients treated surgically. After multivariate analysis, independent predictors of perioperative complications included treatment with PN (vs. MW or RN) HR 2.42 (95%CI 1.23 – 4.76) and prior abdominal surgery HR 2.27 (95%CI 1.21-4.26).Blood transfusion rate was not statistically different among treatments, (4.7% MWA, 8.1% PN, 4.7% RN; p=0.53). Perioperative mortality within 30 days was identified following in 0 MWA, 0 PN and 1/211 (0.5%) RN patients. Median hospital stay was shorter for MWA 1 day (IQR 1-1) vs. PN 4 days (IQR 3-6) or RN 4 days (IQR 3-4), p<0.001. No difference was identified in 30- day re-admission rate among treatments, 7.1% MWA vs, 1.4% PN vs. 2.8% RN, p=0.21. CONCLUSIONS Patients treated with microwave ablation for 4-7cm RCC tumors had shorter length of hospitalization with no differences in 30-day re-admission rate, overall complication rate, or perioperative mortality. © 2018FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 199Issue 4SApril 2018Page: e1153-e1154 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2018MetricsAuthor Information Daniel D.
