Description
Summary:	The indications and usefulness of laparoscopic renal cystectomy are analyzed. Five patients with symptomatic or recurrent simple renal cyst were submitted to laparoscopic cystectomy; section of the posterior peritoneum, dissection of the cyst, puncture-aspiration and resection of the cyst wall. Complete removal of the cyst wall was achieved with minimum morbidity, the cyst and symptoms disappeared and the hospital stay was short. There was one case of hematoma in the lumbar fossa that resolved with conservative management. Laparoscopic resection of the cyst wall appears to be a useful therapeutic approach for symptomatic or recurrent simple renal cysts.
