Abstract:
A symptomatic renal cyst causing pain, hypertension, or obstruction requires surgery. A new endourological method as alternative to an open surgical procedure is presented. The renal cyst is punctured percutaneously under ultrasound guidance. The channel is dilated under radiological control, the cyst is then inspected endoscopically with the flexible endoscope and the cyst wall is resected. The technique is presented and the results in the first 5 patients are discussed.
