Is minimally invasive renal cyst surgery a major operation?

Patient's question:

My mother has always been in good health, but she was recently diagnosed with a kidney cyst. Is a minimally invasive kidney cyst surgery considered major surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, minimally invasive surgery for renal cysts is considered a minor surgery, not a major one, but it also depends on the size of the patient's cyst and the condition of their illness. In general, minimally invasive surgery causes less damage and allows for a quicker recovery. Therefore, there is no need to be overly worried or anxious. After the surgery, it is important to rest and minimize physical activity. Most people can return to normal life about a month later. Drink plenty of water and avoid fatigue.
