Treatment of bilateral renal cysts

Bilateral renal cysts generally have no symptoms or only mild symptoms in the early stage, but with the increase of age, the cysts tend to increase gradually, gradually compressing the renal parenchyma, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia. If this happens for a long time, the cells will harden and die, lose their function, and finally affect the function of the kidney.

Puncture resection for bilateral renal cysts

How to treat bilateral renal cyst? Generally, the treatment of bilateral renal cysts is renal puncture and surgical resection, which can remove the cysts on the surface of the kidney or in the kidney. Puncture treatment of bilateral renal cysts has little effect, which is not only easy to relapse, but also can not delay the occurrence of renal function damage after long-term observation.

Surgical removal of cysts is not an easy task, because cysts on the surface of the kidney can be removed, but it is quite difficult to remove cysts buried deep in the kidney. When the tumor is large and may become malignant, surgical exploration can be carried out. If it is proved to be a benign cyst, the cyst wall on the surface of the kidney can be removed, and the edge of the cyst can be sutured continuously with catgut, and the remaining cyst wall can be coated with iodine tincture. Nephrectomy is feasible for patients with extensive destruction of renal parenchyma on one side and normal renal function on the other. Nephrectomy is not an ideal choice or a last resort for patients with bilateral renal cysts.

Bilateral renal cysts are generally asymptomatic in the early stage, but the cysts will continue to grow and cause discomfort or pain in the waist and abdomen; Later, it will rupture due to the increase of fluid pressure in the capsule, resulting in hematuria, or a palpable mass in the abdomen. This situation clearly shows that bilateral renal cysts cannot be treated until they become larger. At this time, symptomatic bilateral renal cysts can be treated by surgery and puncture.
