There are no comparable non-surgical alternatives to
kidney cyst decortication. Laparoscopic kidney cyst decortication is a surgical
alternative.
Anesthesia with Kidney Cyst Decortication:
Kidney cyst decortication is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely unaware during the procedure.
Potential Complications from Kidney Cyst Decortication:
Possible risks following kidney cyst decortication include infection, bleeding, incisional hernia and a negative reaction to the anesthesia. It is also possible to experience urine leakage from the kidney, requiring a ureteral stent.
Prognosis after Kidney Cyst Decortication:
The prognosis for a positive end result following kidney cyst decortication is good. In most cases, pain and high blood pressure caused by the cysts is relieved.
Recovery from Kidney Cyst Decortication:
Total recovery from kidney cyst decortication takes four to six weeks.
