Combined percutaneous diagnostic puncture and management of renal cysts.

Abstract

Significant reduction in size was obtained in 12 of 14 renal cysts treated by the instillation of iophendylate. The advent of noninvasive methods has increased the number of renal cysts detected radiologically and has limited the indication for diagnostic puncturing to problematic cases only. However, if it is decided to perform diagnostic puncture of a renal cyst, the combined instillation of iophendylate into the cyst seems to be therapeutically rewarding.
