ABSTRACT
The sclerosant agents to be employed in the percutaneous treatment of renal cysts, according to the world wide published reports, are still topic of debate. The authors report the satisfying results obtained, once the cyst has been emptied under ultrasonographic control, by the injection into the cyst of ethanol 95% immediately followed by human fibrin glue (tissucol). In all ten patients so treated the complete and rapid disappearance of the cyst occurred without relapse after 6 months. The proposed procedure is also particularly suitable due to the lack of local and/or general complications deriving from the synergic, yet unprecedented, use of the two substances.
