Holmium laser in treating large para-pelvic renal cysts-experience in Bahrain defence force hospital

Abstract EN

The incidence of simple renal cysts varies in the literature, ranging from 10.7% to 23%.

while the majority of cysts appear to be mostly asymptomatic, it has been documented that they may potentially be a cause of abdominal or flank pain, raised blood pressure, hematuria or obstructive uropathy.

we present a case of 73 year old female with chronic right flank pain and recurring renal stone disease.

imaging revealed a large parapelvic right simple renal cyst which was drained successfully with the aid of ureteroscopic laser treatment.
