Percutaneous Microwave Ablation of Stage T1b Renal Cell Carcinoma: Short-Term Assessment of Technical Feasibility, Short-Term Oncologic Outcomes, and Safety.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Proper management of the nonpalpable testicle requires an accurate diagnosis. Laparoscopic orchiopexy (LO) has become the standard for diagnosis and treatment. We classified the location of nonpalpable testicles, reviewed the technique of LO in detail, and report the results of our series, the la...
