| Popis: | Introduction: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of aspiration with percutaneous nephrostomy tube and sclerotherapy with 96% ethanol for a simple renal cyst.Methods: Between 2011 and 2014, 34 patients with symptomatic renal cysts were included in the study. The mean age was 52.3±4.6 years (range, 39–72 years). The patients had only flank pain. The procedure was performed with ultrasound guidance and under fluoroscopic control. After the puncture using an 18-G angiography needle, the guidewire was advanced to the collecting system. A 14-Fr nephrostomy catheter was then advanced over the guidewire. After cystography, 96% ethanol was injected into the cyst and drained amount 10%. We continued to daily inject the same amount of ethanol postoperatively until the drainage was |
