Laparoscopic transperitoneal decortication of a giant peripelvic renal cyst.

Laparoscopic decortication is currently considered the standard treatment of peripelvic renal cysts, in spite of the technical challenge due to the close contiguity with renal hilar structures. However, to date, few small series or single cases of laparoscopic decortication for symptomatic peripelvic cyst have been reported. In this paper, we report the first case of a giant peripelvic cyst (25 x 18 x 9 cm) treated by transperitoneal laparoscopic decortication in a young adult female. Pain relief and hypertension control were obtained early after surgery, and the patient is symptom free at a 30-month follow-up.
