Renal cysts with a diameter of 5cm usually require surgical treatment, which can choose minimally invasive surgery, such as laparoscopic cyst decapitation and decompression surgery, or cyst puncture and fluid extraction treatment.
1. Minimally invasive surgery: renal cysts are benign lesions, if the cysts are relatively small, you don’t need to do special treatment, and review the ultrasound once every six months or so to understand the changes in the size of the cysts. However, if the diameter of the cyst reaches 5cm, surgery is recommended, and currently laparoscopic cyst decapitation and decompression surgery is mainly adopted.
2. Cystocentesis: For older patients who cannot tolerate anesthesia or surgery, cystocentesis can be considered. However, there is a certain chance of recurrence of the cyst in this way of treatment.
Overall, if the diameter of kidney cyst reaches 5cm, you need to go to the local regular hospital in time and have targeted treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
