title: Laparoscopic ablation of peripelvic renal cysts.
abstract: Recently, laparoscopic surgery has been reported for symptomatic renal cysts. A 60-year-old female was referred to Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University Hospital with a chief complaint of general fatigue and left back pain. CT demonstrated bilateral peripelvic renal cysts, and DIP demonstrated left hydronephrosis and a medical shift of the left renal pelvis. Laparoscopic ablation of bilateral peripelvic renal cysts was performed under general anesthesia and a round excision was made in the cyst wall via the peritoneum. After surgery, the left back pain disappeared and CT demonstrated resolution of peripelvic renal cysts. Laparoscopic ablation of peripelvic renal cyst is a highly effective and minimally morbid procedure.
