Tumour in solitary kidney: laparoscopic partial nephrectomy vs laparoscopic cryoablation.

Given adequate technical expertise, both LPN and LCA are viable nephron-sparing options for patients with tumour in a solitary kidney.

Although LCA is technically easier and has superior functional outcomes, oncologic outcomes are superior after LPN.
