What to do about cysts on the kidney

Cysts on the kidney, first of all, we should distinguish the size of the cysts, if the cysts are less than 4cm, no surgery is needed and regular review. If the cyst is larger than 4cm, it should be treated surgically. Among them, surgical treatment is divided into laparoscopic renal cyst decompression and ultrasound-located renal cyst puncture and drainage. The choice of the two surgical procedures depends on the patient’s condition. If the patient is in relatively good health and not too old, laparoscopic renal cyst decompression is usually chosen. If the patient is older and in poorer health, the risk of laparoscopic surgery is higher and ultrasound-located renal cyst puncture and drainage will be chosen.
