    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Renal cysts are common findings.
    • Some renal cysts can harbor malignancy.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the technique of percutaneous endoscopy for renal cysts.
    • To evaluate its utility in differentiating benign from malignant cystic renal masses.

    Main Methods:

    • Percutaneous access to the renal cyst.
    • Introduction of an endoscope for direct visualization.
    • Biopsy or fluid aspiration if indicated.

    Main Results:

    • Direct visualization of the cyst's internal architecture.
    • Identification of papillary projections or solid components suggestive of tumor.
    • Successful tissue sampling for histological analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous endoscopy is a valuable tool for evaluating renal cysts.
    • It provides direct visualization to rule out malignancy.
    • This technique aids in definitive diagnosis and treatment planning.
