Laparoscopic unroofing of renal cyst has replaced open surgical intervention in recent years. We report our experience with this procedure on 6 patients with hydronephrosis due to peripelvic cyst. Four male and two female patients, ranging from 51 to 67 years, underwent laparoscopic unroofing of peripelvic cyst. All patients had various degrees of hydronephrosis. Two patients had lumbago and hematuria. The cause of this hematuria was probably due to the renal pelvic stone. Surgical approaches i.e., retro- or transperitoneal were selected depending on the location of cyst. The operative time ranged from 80 to 235 minutes (mean 167 minutes). The length of postoperative hospital stay ranged from 3 to 7 days (mean 4.6 days). Intraoperative blood loss ranged from 20 to 26 cc (mean 21 cc). Four weeks after the operation, all patients showed improvement of hydronephrosis. Laparoscopic unroofing of peripelvic cyst is a safe and efficacious procedure, and could be an' attractive alternative for management of peripelvic renal cysts.

The aim of the present study was to compare flexible ureteroscopy and laparoscopy in the treatment of peripelvic renal cysts, so as to determine the best treatment method for patients with peripelvic renal cysts. A systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CONAHL, Clinicaltrials.gov, Google Scholar, CNKI and WanFang DATA databases was conducted for articles published over 22 years (December 1980-December 2022) using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines.

Most simple renal cysts rarely require therapy. When it grows to such a large size, regardless of the presence of symptomatology, surgical intervention is required. In this study, we explored a new approach called percutaneous ureteroscopy laser unroofing for treatment renal cysts and evaluated its safety and efficacy.

We report the ureteroscopic unroofing of a symptomatic peripelvic cyst with a holmium laser in a 37-year-old woman. At 1-year follow-up, the patient remains symptom free. Endoscopic management of peripelvic cysts is durable and can be performed safely.

Laparoscopic management of renal cystic disease.

Department of Urology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.

Laparoscopic management of renal cystic disease is a highly effective, safe, and minimally invasive alternative to open surgery and antegrade or retrograde endoscopic procedures. Simple renal cysts can be accessed either transperitoneally or retroperitoneally. Almost all studies of the laparoscopic approach have demonstrated great satisfaction in terms of efficacy, minimal complications, operative time, minimal blood loss, hospital stay, recuperation, and cosmesis over other methods of treating renal cysts.
