Percutaneous sclerotherapy effectively treats symptomatic renal cysts with a 98% average volume reduction and minimal recurrence. This low-invasive method is a safe and recommended option for kidney cyst management.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

  • Renal cysts are common, and symptomatic cases require effective treatment.
  • Traditional surgical approaches can be invasive and carry significant risks.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous sclerotherapy for treating renal cysts.
  • To assess complication rates and long-term outcomes of this minimally invasive technique.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 28 patients with renal cysts (3-12 cm) treated with percutaneous sclerotherapy using 96% ethanol.
  • Ultrasound-guided puncture, cyst aspiration, ethanol instillation, and aspiration were performed under local anesthesia.
  • Excellent outcomes were observed, with 98% average cyst volume reduction and only one recurrence in 27 followed-up patients, with no complications.

Impact:

  • Percutaneous sclerotherapy offers a highly effective, safe, and minimally invasive treatment option for symptomatic renal cysts.
  • This technique presents a low-stress, non-problematic alternative to more invasive procedures.
  • It is indicated as a first-line treatment for renal cysts causing clinical symptoms.
