Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of minimally invasive therapy for peripelvic renal cysts by retroperitoneal laparoscopy.Methods Clinical data of 10 cases of peripelvic renal cysts treated by retroperitoneal laparoscopic fenestration in this hospital from October 2003 to March 2005 were retrospectively reviewed.Results All the 10 cases of operation were successfully completed.The operation time ranged 40~60 min(mean,55 min).Follow-up observations in the 10 cases for 3~24 months(mean,12.8 months) showed no recurrence.Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoscopy is a safe and feasible alternative for the management of peripelvic renal cysts.
