Does kidney cyst need operation

summary

Some time ago, my wife always felt uncomfortable in her stomach. At first, she didn't care much about it. She just drank more hot water, but she didn't get better all the time. Until recently, she went to have a physical examination and learned that she was suffering from a renal cyst. Today, let me talk about whether a renal cyst needs surgery.

Does kidney cyst need operation

First, the cyst is less than 3cm. If it is more than 3cm and has obvious symptoms, it needs to be considered for treatment. The symptoms of renal cyst mainly include lumbar and abdominal discomfort or pain; hematuria: it can be manifested as microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria; abdominal mass: sometimes it is the main reason for patients to see a doctor, and 60% - 80% of patients can touch the swollen kidney; Generally speaking, the larger the kidney, the worse the renal function.

Second: if you want to treat renal cysts, you must go to the hospital for a detailed examination. The size of renal cysts should be operated. The degree of adverse effects of cysts on the kidney and the whole body must be considered comprehensively, and it depends on the size and progress of cysts. If the cyst is small (less than 5cm in diameter), no obvious compression of renal parenchyma or renal pelvis, no infection or malignant transformation, and patients with hypertension do not advocate surgery, B-ultrasound follow-up can be performed regularly.

Third: the size of renal cyst should be operated. If the cyst is large (diameter is more than 5cm) or has the above-mentioned obvious renal compression, infection and other manifestations, surgical treatment should be performed. The operation includes: puncture and injection of sclerosing agent under the guidance of B-ultrasound or CT, and removal of renal cyst. At present, laparoscopic removal of renal cyst has become the first choice for renal cyst operation because of its small trauma and rapid recovery. If it is larger than 4cm, we should consider whether to operate or not, and evaluate it.
