Treatment of renal cysts with single-session percutaneous drainage and ethanol sclerotherapy: long-term outcome

Comparison of Ethanol and Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate in the Sclerotherapy of Renal Cyst

“…Similarly, other authors found no major complications. 12,13 However, intense pain during cyst filling with alcohol was reported by De Dominicis and colleagues 14 in a few patients, who were unable to tolerate the procedure, while Okeke and coworkers 1 noted instant severe pain with a radicular distribution after ethanol injection of a painless cyst presenting as a renal mass. In our study, the pain caused by the injection was significantly less intense for STDS than for ethanol sclerotherapy.…”

A huge renal cyst mimicking ascites: a case report

“…Giant renal cysts were mistaken for palpable gallbladder [18] and even for obesity [19]. Renal cysts can be treated by percutaneous aspiration with or without injection of sclerosants [20,21], percutaneous marsupialization, and open surgery and, most recently, by laparoscopic surgery with transperitoneal or retroperitoneal access. In our case, we have chosen continuous percutaneous catheter drainage with negative pressure given the simultaneous diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of cyst drainage.…”

Remission of hypertension after treatment of giant simple renal cyst: a case report

“…Local renal ischemia, caused by cyst expansion, led to stimulation of the reninangiotensin-aldosterone system, which may explain the hypertension [5,6]. Renal cysts can be treated by percutaneous aspiration with or without injection of sclerosants [7,8], percutaneous marsupialization, open surgery and, most recently, by laparoscopic surgery with transperitoneal or retroperitoneal access. In our case, we did not choose aspiration and injection of sclerosants in order to have the cyst examined pathologically.…”
