If a kidney cyst shows cancer-suspect characteristics, it is classified as tumor-suspect and treated as a kidney tumor with a partial nephrectomy or nephrectomy.
Special Features
Most kidney cysts are asymptomatic. If they grow large, they can cause a feeling of pressure on the side or disrupt kidney outflow.
Symptoms
The causes of kidney cyst formation remain unclear. Some may be inherited and occur as part of hereditary kidney diseases.
Causes
The Da-Vinci renal cyst removal is a robot-assisted, minimally invasive keyhole surgery that requires special surgical expertise. Instruments are introduced under general anesthesia through small incisions in the abdomen or flank (for a posterior abdominal approach) and then controlled by the surgeon via a console.
