Abstract

The aim of this study was to report our experience with the llaparoscopic transperitoneal treatment of simple renal cysts, to analyze the immediate and long-term clinical outcomes, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this miniinvasive surgical technique. Between 2009 and 2014 we diagnosed and treated a total of 48 patients with symptomatic simple renal cysts. The diagnosis was set up by ultrasound (US) and/or computed tomography (CT) examination. All cases were managed by transperitoneal laparoscopic cyst decortication. Demographic data, perioperative blood loss, duration of operative procedure, length of hospital stay and peri- and postoperative complications were analyzed. Follow-up included clinical examination and renal US, performed at 3-monthly intervals during the first year and yearly thereafter. Patient age ranged from 32 to 68 years (mean age 52.4 years). 27 (56.2%) of the patients were males and 21 (43.8%)--females. 42 (87.5%) of the cysts were peripheral, and 6 (12.5%)-peripelvic; 28 (58.3%) were localized to the left and 20 (41.7%)--to the right; and they ranged by size from 5 to 30 cm (mean 9.8 cm). 45 (93.8%) of the cysts were identified as category I, and only 3 (6.2%)--as category II, according to the Bo...Continue Reading
