Abstract

The Authors report their results on the treatment of simple voluminous renal cyst with percutaneous drainage and three times repeated sclerosis with pure alcohol every 24 hours. After a mean follow-up of 28 months They report a 96% of success with only two recurrences. Since the fair results and low invasiveness of the method, the Authors propose the repeated alcoholization in the treatment of simple voluminous renal cysts.
