Abstract

This chapter describes in details all the aspects of percutaneous management of renal pelvis tumors. These tumors are mostly low grade and bulky and the resection is with the intent of complete, curative and sometimes palliative purposes. Majority of these patients have compromised renal function or have significant co morbidities. The technical aspects of resection, follow up biopsy and surveillance are described with video samples of different stages. There will also be description of intracavitary treatment.
