International audience. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate oncologic and functional outcomes after percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) for renal masses based on our single center experience. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively identified 26 patients who underwent PCA for 28 tumors between November 2006 and June 2011. Patient's demographics and baseline clinical characteristics, tumor features, perioperative information, and postoperative outcomes we rerecorded. A biopsy was performed systematically before each procedure. Control imaging was obtained at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, and yearly thereafter. Oncological outcomes were determined by radiographic evidence of tumor recurrence, which was defined by contrast enhancement at the cryoablation site on control imaging at M3. RESULTS: Patients had mean age of 70.1 years, mean Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and body mass index) were 6 and 29 kg/m(2) respectively. There were 11 kidney transplants, including 4 solitary. Mean tumor size was 29.5mm and was represented mainly by clear cell renal cell carcinomas (16/28), endophytic (17/28) and midkidney (14/28) (+/-9.8). Twenty-five cryoablations were performed percutaneously by two lumbotomy. Mean clearance preoperative MDRD was 66,1 mL/min. Mean length of stay was 3.3 days (+/-2.2). Intraoperative complications consisted of 2 pneumothorax and 6 minor complications postoperative (Clavien
