[Renal cystography--a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure (author's transl)].
Pre-operatively, renal cysts can be distinguished with certainty from solid tumours only by their direct radiological demonstration; this is best done by double contrast methods after percutaneous puncture (renal cystography). By introducing a small amount of oily contrast medium, the cyst may be cured at the same time. The method is described and the results in different patients are reported. This combined diagnostic-therapeutic procedure is proposed as an alternative to surgery of renal cysts and is recommended as the method of choice in old patients and those carrying an increased risk.
