Our 10-year experience with embolized Wilms' tumor
In the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Clinical Hospital Center Rebro in Zagreb, during the last 10 years a new method of invasive diagnostic and at the same time therapeutic procedure for the treatment of Wilms' tumor has been introduced. The treatment is preoperative Percutaneous Transcatheter Intraarterial Embolization (PTIE) of the renal artery. The aim of this procedure is to reduce vascularization, to decrease the mass of kidney affected by the tumor, to separate it from the surrounding tissue, to decrease intraoperative spillage of malignant cells into the blood stream and their metastasizing. As a result nephrectomy is easier to perform. It has been confirmed that it is best to perform nephrectomy 48 hours after embolization. The authors present their own experience with 33 patients, ranging from 1 to 16 years of age.
