Will kidney cyst recur after surgery?

People will experience many diseases in their lives. Common diseases like colds are common, but there are also very serious diseases that can even endanger our lives. Moreover, they are all diseases occurring in important organs of our body and need our attention. Kidney cyst is one of the serious diseases. Once we have this disease, we need timely surgical treatment. However, many people have a question: will kidney cyst recur after surgery? Let’s take a closer look at it below!

It is still unclear whether simple renal cysts are congenital or acquired. Its origin may be similar to that of polycystic kidney disease, but it is just a different degree. There is no specific method to treat renal cysts at the current medical level.

For small renal cysts, no treatment is required if there are no symptoms, but regular check-ups are required to see if the cyst continues to grow. Asymptomatic people should undergo regular urine tests, including urinalysis and urine culture, and renal function tests, including endogenous creatinine clearance, every six months to one year.

Since infection is an important cause of worsening of this disease, invasive urinary tract examinations should not be performed unless absolutely necessary. Renal cyst puncture is not very effective. It is not only prone to infection and recurrence, but also, after long-term observation, it is found that this procedure cannot delay the occurrence of renal function damage. Surgical removal of cysts is not an easy task either, because cysts on the surface of the kidney can be removed, but it is quite difficult to remove cysts buried deep in the kidney.

When the tumor is large and has the potential to become malignant, surgical exploration can be performed. If it is confirmed to be a benign cyst, the cyst wall on the surface of the kidney can be removed, the edges can be sutured continuously to the renal parenchyma with intestinal thread, and the remaining cyst wall can be coated with tincture of iodine. Nephrectomy is recommended for patients with extensive destruction of one renal parenchyma and normal function of the contralateral kidney.

There is generally no recurrence after surgery. It is a general term for cystic lesions in the kidneys that are not connected to the outside world. Common renal cysts include simple renal cysts, parapelvic cysts and polycystic kidney disease. Surgical exploration should be performed. If it is confirmed to be a benign cyst, the cyst wall on the surface of the kidney can be removed, the edges can be sutured continuously to the renal parenchyma with catgut, and the remaining cyst wall can be coated with tincture of iodine.

From the above content, we understand that renal cysts generally do not recur after surgery, so there is no need to worry. However, when it comes to the treatment of renal cysts, you still need to be aware of some precautions, because the recovery period after surgery is also very critical. If the patient can be well taken care of, recovery will be very fast. Therefore, everyone needs to know some knowledge about renal cyst surgery.
