- Abstract
Background: Percutaneous aspiration with sclerotherapy (PAS) and laparoscopic marsupialization (LM) are minimally invasive treatment modalities for renal cysts. We aimed to compare the efficacy and cost/effectiveness of LM and PAS for the treatment of simple symptomatic renal cysts. Methods: Data were prospectively collected from three health care institutions in which 80 patients with symptomatic simple renal cysts underwent a single session of PAS with 95% ethanol (PAS group, n = 40) or underwent LM under general anesthesia (LM group, n = 40) between March 2012 and May 2016. We compared the patient profile, duration of procedure, duration of hospital stay, radiological and symptomatic success rates, treatment costs, and incidence of complications between the two groups. Results: At the 6-month follow-up, the radiological success rate in the LM group was significantly greater than that in the PAS group (97.5% versus 60%; P < .001). The symptomatic success rate was comparable in the two groups (95% versus 90%; P = .675). The treatment failure rate did not significantly differ between the two groups (5.0% versus 17.5%, P = .154). The mean total cost in the PAS and LM groups was 1256 USD and 2343 USD, respectively (P = .001). No significant between-group difference was noted regarding the overall complication rate (P = .615). Conclusions: Both LM and PAS are effective and safe procedures for the treatment of symptomatic simple renal cysts. A single session of PAS seems to be a cost-effective method for the management of symptomatic simple renal cysts.
