title: [Echo-guided percutaneous treatment of renal cysts: aspiration vs continuous 24-hour drainage].
abstract: The results of 2 treatment options, percutaneous aspiration vs percutaneous aspiration and continuous drainage over 24 hours, in the management of simple renal cyst were compared. Thirteen patients were managed with aspiration alone (group 1) while 19 with aspiration and continuous drainage (group 2). Recurrence rate was 100% in group 1 and 73% in group 2 (p: n.s.). Therefore, we believe that the higher cost of continuous drainage are not justified.
