“…Confident identification of the ureter while monitoring the iceball allows the operator to minimize ureteral cryoinjury. Mechanical retraction of the tumor during ablation may also shift the iceball away from the ureter [57].…”

“…Gentle cryoprobe retraction after the first few minutes of freezing can displace the kidney within the retroperitoneal fat and increase the distance between the ice ball and the ureter. 22 In patients felt to be at high risk for ureteral stricture, particularly those in which the ablation zone clearly abuts or includes the proximal ureter, a temporary indwelling ureteral stent may be left in place for several weeks as the urothelium heals.…”

“…19,20,21 The use of the balloon can be advantageous as they are not gravity dependent but this method is cumbersome and need more resources in tumors located far from the body surface, may rupture because of thermal damage, or interfere with of the ablation zone by applying torque or pushing/ pulling on the ablation applicator may occasionally be successful in displacing the tumor ablation zone from adjacent structures. 19,22 However, this technique an adequate gap between the liver and perihepatic structures. There is also potential risk of tissue injury structure in order to avoid thermal injury and give a clear electrode path to the tumor percutaneously.…”
