| Description: | A 61 year old gentleman had a large renal cyst, thought to be causing a ‘pseudo-hydrocalyx’ leading to recurrent stones. Definitive treatment with laparoscopic deroofing was planned, however intra-operatively this was abandoned due to complex anatomy and scared adherent tissue. Patient went on to have a flexible ureteroscopy and ‘through and through’ puncture of an intrarenal cyst with PCNL to treat his stones and renal cyst simultaneously. CT scan 12 months later showed no new stone formation and no residual cyst. Percutaneous puncture of a renal cyst combined with flexible ureteroscopy is an effective method when treating large renal cysts. Keywords: Holmium laser, Ureteroscopy, Renal stones, Renal cyst |
