Simple renal cysts are quite common in adults with an incidence that increases with age. Sclerosant treatment is very common, but the recurrence rate is high. Results are still under investigation for laparoscopic approaches and their long follow-up periods. Between 1998 and 2004, 21 patients were diagnosed with symptomatic renal cysts in our clinics. Initially, all patients underwent aspiration-sclerotherapy with 95% ethanol, the most common sclerosant, under ultrasound, fluoroscopy, or CT guidance. For those with sclerosant therapy failure, the laparoscopic unroofing method was used. Like open surgery, laparoscopic unroofing of the cyst appears to be effective by not only removing part of the cyst wall, but more importantly, by providing adequate drainage of the cyst. After sclerotherapy, 71% of the patients had recurrent pain and cyst on follow-up (at mean 14 months). This group of patients was cured with the laparoscopic unroofing method and there is still no recurrence. We emphasize the unroofing method as better than single session sclerotherapy. And also, laparoscopic unroofing of the cyst is more predictable and has better results than sclerotherapy aspiration.

Introduction: We presented a case diagnosed the renal clear cell carcinoma undergoing cystic change (RCCCC) with detailed clinical data. Along with literature review, we aimed to investigate clinical diagnosis and treatment of RCCCC and explore the differential diagnosis of RCCCC and multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma (MCRCC).
Case Presentation: The patient was diagnosed with a right renal cyst after physical examination, which was misdiagnosed as a renal cyst by imaging examination.

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.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to explore the safety and feasibility of single-port nephroscopy combined with a needle electrode technique to unroof single dorsal simple renal cysts (SRCs).
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of the clinical data for 18 patients with single dorsal SRCs treated with single-port nephroscopy and a needle electrode technique at Zhongshan City People's Hospital from August 2021 to August 2022. The basic information included the cyst condition, surgical methods and recurrence rate, and follow-up was conducted with CT imaging.

Background: Primary nonparasitic splenic cysts (NPSC) are typically diagnosed incidentally. The management of large (≥ 5 cm) asymptomatic cysts remains controversial; there is a lack of evidence guiding management. The purpose of this study was to describe the outcomes of nonoperative management of large NPSC.

Article Synopsis
- A 63-year-old woman with postmenopausal bleeding was diagnosed with epithelioid malignant melanoma after finding multiple lesions during a gynecological exam.
- She underwent a complex surgical procedure involving laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and total vaginectomy, which included extensive dissection and mobilization of surrounding tissues and organs.
- The case concludes that laparoscopic techniques can be a viable surgical option for radical procedures in certain patients with similar conditions.
