Abstract
BENEJAM GUAL, J.M.; DIEZ-CABALLERO ALONSO, F. and GARCIA-MIRALLES GRAVALOS, R.. Complex renal cyst: Laparoscopic treatment. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2006, vol.30, n.6, pp.626-629. ISSN 0210-4806.
The difference between the simple renal cysts, that doesn't require surgical treatment, and those that need it, sometimes is difficult. The laparoscopic surgical treatment (laparoscopic cyst decortication -laparoscopic partial nefrectomy or radical laparoscopic nefrectomy) its becoming the gold standard technique, recommending this procedure in Bosniak cyst type III or IV, and in the symptomatic renal cyst type I/II and in any patients with Bosniak cyst renal II. We present a case report in which a renal cell carcinoma was found after laparoscopic cyst decortication of Bosniak cyst type II with laparoscopic radical nefrectomy posteriorly.
