Cameron Mathieson is still commenting on his kidney surgery. The growth on his kidney was accidentally discovered (Synch). Pathology said the growth was consistent with renal cell carcinoma (same wording). He was referred for partial nephrectomy, a highly specialized surgery (same route).* He underwent surgery using robotics (same technique).
*Only difference was referral by the surgeon from partial nephrectomy surgery to robotic cryo-ablation** surgeon. No big deal, Cameron, if you were candidate for that, though probably no one would be interested months later.
**Interventional Radiology Percutaneous Renal Cryoablation
