Do you have to operate on the cyst?

The decision to operate on a cyst depends on the location of the cyst and the size of the cyst. The incidence of cysts in the body is relatively high, mostly in the liver or kidneys, but may also occur in the breast and thyroid gland. In the case of cysts in the liver, small cysts can be treated without surgery. If the cyst is large, with a diameter of more than 8-10 centimeters, and there are corresponding symptoms of compression, then the cyst needs to be opened and drained laparoscopically. The same applies to kidney cysts, but because the kidneys themselves are relatively small, if the cysts are large and compress the normal renal parenchyma, they also need to undergo open drainage of the kidneys. Benign cysts are usually thyroid adenomas, or cystic lesions formed by the nodes, this time the cysts are usually larger, sometimes more than 3-4 centimeters, need to perform cystectomy.
