Application of minimally invasive percutaneous nephroscopic plasma electrode decortication in the treatment of renal cysts / 现代泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Laparoscopic decortication is the standardized surgical treatment for simple renal cysts. With the continuous maturation of minimally invasive techniques, percutaneous nephroscopic decortication and decompression is gradually implemented, which has advantages of minimal invasiveness, fast recovery and good prognosis. Ureteroscopic plasma electrode is a modified procedure, which can achieve more exact intraoperative hemostasis and efficient cutting efficiency than traditional surgery. This article reviews the current treatments of simple renal cysts, and introduces our experience of using minimally invasive percutaneous nephroscopic plasma electrode decortication, its surgical procedures and technical points.
