Summary
This study on kidney lesions found that puncturing avascular space-occupying lesions is safe and effective, especially for older patients. Therapeutic obliteration of benign cysts achieved a 91% positive effect rate.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Interventional Radiology
- Oncology
Background:
- Avascular space-occupying lesions of the kidney require accurate diagnosis and management.
- Minimally invasive techniques are preferred, particularly for elderly patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of kidney lesion puncture for diagnosis and treatment.
- To assess the therapeutic potential of cyst obliteration using specific agents.
Main Methods:
- 38 punctures of avascular space-occupying kidney lesions were performed.
- Diagnostic procedures included angiography and cytology.
- Therapeutic obliteration of benign cysts involved instillation of Propyliodon and Vistarin.
Main Results:
- The puncture method was minimally stressing and low-risk.
- A 91% positive effect rate was observed for complete obliteration and shrinking of benign cysts.
- Contrast-enhanced imaging and cytology were crucial for diagnosis.
Conclusions:
- Kidney lesion puncture is a safe and effective procedure, especially for differentiating avascular tumors or cysts in older patients.
- Simultaneous therapeutic obliteration of benign cysts shows high success rates.
- Surgical intervention is recommended when diagnostic results remain inconclusive.
