Abstract
Simple renal cysts are a very common disease. They can be single or multiple, mono or bilateral and are generally symptomatic. Recurrent and symptomatic renal cysts can be managed surgically by the laparoscopic approach. In this report we describe our five-year experience with laparoscopic renal cyst resection through transperitoneal and extraperitoneal approach. Laparoscopy can be considered a safe treatment in the case of benign recurrent and complicated cysts.
