[B-ultrasound guided aspiration and sclerotherapy with 2% iodophor for renal cysts].

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the efficacy of B-ultrasound-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy with 2% iodophor for treatment of renal cysts.

METHODS

Twenty-eight cases of sympotomatic renal cysts were treated with B-ultrasound-guided aspiration followed by sclerotherapy with 2% iodopher, which was maintained for 20 min. After extraction of iodopher, another injection of 2% iodopher (5-10 ml) into the cysts was given. The patients were followed up for 6 months to 18 months.

RESULTS

Full recovery was achieved in 25 cases and improvement in 2 cases. Recurrence was found in 1 case after the treatment.

CONCLUSIONS

B-ultrasound-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy with 2% iodophor is safe, minimally invasive, and highly effective for treatment of symptomatic renal cysts.
