Abstract

Objective: Our aim is to present our first results about the lapa-roscopic management of the symptomatic simple renal cysts.

Materials and Methods: We treated 15 patients who had the symptomatic renal cysts with the laparoscopic method between June 2010 and November 2010. General and surgical data of the patients were prospectively recorded.

Results: The mean ages of the patients were 59.6 ± 12.6 (24-75), 7 of whom were female (47.7%) and 8 of whom were males (53.3%). The most common symptom was pain. The mean cyst diameter was determined as 7.8 ± 2.2 (50-120) cm. All of the patients were treated with the transperitoneal approach. 11 of the cysts were in the right kidney, and 4 of the cysts were in the left kidney. In addi-tion, 1 patient had the cysts in both kidneys. The average duration of the hospital stay was 2.1 ± 0.3 (2-3) days, and the mean duration of the operation was lasted for 30.9 ± 5.7 (20-40) minutes. All of the cysts were classified as Bosniac type 1. All cases were pathologically reported as simple renal cyst. No recurrence was observed in the patients. 

Conculusion: The laparoscopic treatment of the symptomatic simple renal cysts is a safe, effective and successful method with lower recurrence and morbidity.

Key Words: Laparoscopy, Treatment, Renal Cyst
