Patient's question:
Upon careful examination, it was found that there is a cyst in the left kidney, approximately 4 cm in size. Upon going to the hospital for a follow-up examination, the doctor recommended performing a laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery to remove it. How is such a surgery?Doctor's answer:
A kidney cyst refers to a general term for cystic masses that repeatedly appear inside the kidney and are not connected to the outside world. In general, cysts larger than 4 cm require surgical removal. Currently, kidney cyst surgery can be successfully completed through laparoscopy. This is a minimally invasive surgery, but it is prone to recurrence after the operation. It is recommended to undergo regular health checks to monitor the condition and prevent recurrence.
