Core Tip	Because of increased abdominal imaging, an increasing number of incidental small kidney masses are being detected. Renal thermal ablation is one treatment strategy used for the management of these tumors. Oncologic outcomes in published series appear favorable. Thermal ablation allows treatment of kidney masses in situ without the need for complete ipsilateral renal ischemia. As a consequence, ablation may be an attractive alternative for patients with baseline kidney dysfunction owing to medical comorbidities who would be at risk for declining kidney function following surgery.
