[Drug sclerosing of kidney cysts]

A report is given on the medicinal sclerosing of renal cysts by percutaneous treatment of 15 patients of the age of about 50 to 70 years. By intracaval injection of Aethoxysklerol in a solution of 2% the vessels of the cysts wall are obliterated and the tissue is sclerosed. The described technique avoids incorrect application as well as complications and major strain for the patients. True recurrences are obviously seldom. The report indicates that any evidence of a tumour disease apart from the cysts must bei excluded. The successful treatment shows that the percutaneous sclerosing represents a recommendable alternative to surgical operations. The efficacy and compatibility of the sclerosing agent Aethoxysklerol are particularly mentioned.
