Dear Manik Rarely, a simple renal cyst that is causing symptoms will require laparoscopic cyst decortication. In this procedure, small incisions are made and the body spaces are gently inflated with gas. Renal cysts are classified as either malignant or benign using the Bosniak Classification System. The system was created by Dr. Morton Bosniak, a faculty member at the NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. A |

Rarely, a simple renal cyst that is causing symptoms will require laparoscopic cyst decortication. In this procedure, small incisions are made and the body spaces are gently inflated with gas. Renal cysts are classified as either malignant or benign using the Bosniak Classification System. The system was created by Dr. Morton Bosniak, a faculty member at the NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. A complex kidney cyst is different from a simple kidney cyst as the cyst may be irregular in its outer shape. To be defined as a complex kidney cyst, the cyst must have some type of irregularities inside of it. The irregularities come in different varieties. Septations are walls within the cyst A renal cyst is a fluid collection in the kidney. There are several types based on the Bosniak classification. The majority are benign, simple cysts that can be monitored and not intervened upon. However, some are cancerous or are suspicious for cancer and are commonly removed in a surgical procedure called nephrectomy. Numerous renal cysts are seen in the cystic kidney diseases, which include polycystic kidney disease and medullary sponge kidney. The treatment plan will incorporate all factors including patient age and health as well as the risk of kidney cancer associated with the complex kidney cyst. The plan will include one of the strategies that are typically used for kidney cancers and may range from active surveillance to removal of the kidney depending on the particular clinical circumstances. |
