Objective: To summarize the experience of ultrasound guided percutaneous aspiration and sclerotherapy for peripelvic cysts and investigate the clinical effect.

Methods: A total of 169 cases of peripelvic cyst patients were evaluated, of whom 36 cases (21.3%) had hydronephrosis secondary to peripelvic cysts, 8 cases (4.7%) had renal calculus. All patients underwent ultrasound and intravenous phelography (IVP) examination, 59 patients also had CT scan. Hydatid fluid was analyzed by amine test. Percutaneous aspiration was guided by ultrasound, 95% alcohol was used to sclerosis the peripelvic cysts when amine test was negative or positive but did not have communication with pelvis through opacification. Ultrasound were done at 1, 3, 6 months and every 1 year thereafter, follow-up period were 6 months to 5 years.

Results: One hundred and sixty-five peripelvic cysts (97.6%) were cured by once sclerotherapy, the diameter of another 4 cases (2.4%) diminished to less than 1.5 cm by once sclerotherapy. Thirty-six cases of hydronephrosis were all resolved after sclerotherapy. Eight cases had renal calculus, of whom 4 cases underwent extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, 2 cases underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and 2 cases did not treat the stone. Five patients had gross hematuria after aspiration, but all diminished in 3-5 d.

Conclusion: Ultrasound guided percutaneous aspiration and sclerotherapy for peripelvic cysts had the superiority of safety, effectiveness micro-invasion and low complication.

The intrarenal reflux is caused by impaired emptying of the renal pelvis, that leads to increased intrarenal pressure. Increased pelvis pressure can be the result of a variety of states. The most common causes are acute upper urinary tract obstruction or overfilling of the pelvis during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) or retrograde pyelography.

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.

Imaging of Perirenal and Intrarenal Lymphatic Vessels: Anatomy-based Approach.

Radiographics

March 2024

From the Department of Radiology (H.T., A.I., T.A.P., N.T.) and Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology (Y.S.), Mayo Clinic, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN 55905; Department of Radiology, Okayama City Hospital, Okayama, Japan (T.T.); Department of Radiology, Jichi Medical University, Tochigi, Japan (S.M.); Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan (M.M.); and Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Ariz (A.K.).

Article Synopsis
  • The lymphatic system includes lymphoid organs and vessels, but findings related to intrarenal and perirenal lymphatic vessels are not well-documented in radiology.
  • Lymphatic pathways in the renal cortex allow lymph to travel towards the hilum and capsular plexus, which can be visualized through contrast medium during CT urography, indicating possible complications like pyelolymphatic backflow.
  • Conditions like congenital renal lymphangiectasia and acquired renal complications can affect imaging post-kidney transplant, with distinct fluid patterns in the urinary tract indicating issues like chyluria, highlighting the importance of understanding lymphatic pathways for effective cancer management.

Despite being rarely discussed, perinephric lymphatics are involved in many pathological and benign processes. The lymphatic system in the kidneys has a harmonious dynamic with ureteral and venous outflow, which can result in pathology when this dynamic is disturbed. Although limited by the small size of lymphatics, multiple established and emerging imaging techniques are available to visualize perinephric lymphatics.
