Abstract:
Purpose: To summarize the efficiency and the experience of the puncture aspiration and sclerosing therapy of hepatic and renal cysts. Materials and methods: 27 patients were treated with percutaneous aspiration and alcohol injection of the cystic cavity using 20G Greene needles. Among the 27 patients, 11 were with hepatic cyst, 15 with renal cyst, and 1 with polycystic kidneys. The size of cysts ranged from 3.5 to 12 cm, and the amount of aspirated fluid varied from 21 to 550ml. Pure alcohol (99. 7%) was injected into the cavities after apiration. Results: All the puncture procedures were successful, and no major complications occurred, The clinical symptoms were relieved or disappeared after the treatment. 18 cases were followed for 3 months to 5 years. The efficient indices: Grade I one case (polycystic kidneys), Grade Ⅱ 4 cases and Grade Ⅲ 13 cases. Conclusion: CT guided percutaneous puncture aspiration and sclerosing treatment of hepatic and renal cysts can be considered as an effective alternative to surgical treatment. The simple aspiration of polycystic kidneys is very helpful in relieving symptoms and improving renal functions.
