Kidney cysts are round pouches of fluid that form on or in the kidneys. Kidney cysts can occur with disorders that may impair kidney function. But more often, kidney cysts are a type called simple kidney cysts. Simple kidney cysts aren't cancer and rarely cause problems.
Is kidney cyst removal a major surgery?
Laparoscopic kidney cyst ablation is a minimally invasive surgical technique to remove symptomatic kidney cysts while preserving the remainder of the kidney. It is intended to help patients who experience flank pain, abdominal pain or have a obstructed kidney due to kidney cysts.
