RESUMO
ABSTRACT Background: We aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of transurethral flexible ureteroscopic incision and drainage with holmium laser in the treatment of parapelvic renal cysts. Materials and Methods: Between October 2017 and April 2021, the clinical data of 65 patients with parapelvic renal cysts were evaluated retrospectively. Thirty-one patients with parapelvic cysts (Group 1) underwent a transurethral flexible ureteroscopic incision and drainage with a holmium laser, whereas the other 34 patients (Group 2) underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic unroofing. The patients' clinical features were documented. The surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization time, complications and cyst size were recorded and statistically assessed one year following the procedure. Results: All of the patients were successfully treated with flexible ureteroscopic incision and drainage or retroperitoneal laparoscopic unroofing. In terms of clinical parameters, such as age, gender, BMI, location, cyst size, and Bosniak classification of renal cysts, no statistically significant difference was detected between Groups 1 and 2. Compared to the control group (Group 2), Group 1 demonstrated a shorter surgery duration, less intraoperative blood loss, and a shorter hospital stay (p < 0.001). However, no significant differences in complications and cyst size were observed between the two groups one year after the surgery (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Transurethral flexible ureteroscopic incision and drainage with holmium laser in the treatment of parapelvic renal cysts has obvious advantages over traditional surgery, and is worthy of advancement and application, but its long-term effect needs further follow-up studies.
